What to do around Wakefield before or after your lodge break

Wakefield makes a lovely first or last stop. Start the weekend with a wander round the galleries, or finish it on a lakeside path before you head home.

The Hepworth Wakefield and Wakefield Cathedral

Set beside the River Calder, The Hepworth Wakefield is open Tuesday to Sunday, with a café and a riverside garden. Exhibition entry is charged, though it’s free for Wakefield District residents, members and under-18s. A short walk away, the cathedral’s spire is the tallest in Yorkshire.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Nostell

Art and countryside meet at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, an open-air gallery you can walk round for hours. Parking is free, and under-18s don’t pay for entry. It’s open Tuesday to Sunday, with longer grounds hours in summer and earlier closing from 3 November, so check the visit page first. Nostell, a National Trust house with parkland, is also just outside the city.

Lakeside walks at Newmillerdam and Pugneys

Newmillerdam Country Park has a surfaced path around its lake and woodland trails that fill with bluebells in spring. Pugneys Country Park has two lakes, a café and a play area, plus a walking route to Sandal Castle. Both use pay and display car parks, so bring some change or the MiPermit app, as set out on the Wakefield Council park page.

The National Coal Mining Museum for England

Free to enter and open Wednesday to Sunday, the National Coal Mining Museum tells the story of the Yorkshire coalfield. Underground tours were listed as reopening soon when we last checked, so look before you set off.
