The 30 Best Water park in Wakefield

“This is a great park and outdoor space. A lovely 2 mile walk around the lake, looking for Room on the Broom characters. Good cafe and visitors centre too which has activities for kids inside. Well worth a visit. £2 parking for 4 hours”

“Came here for Sunday lunch, very good service, good choice of meals on fixed price menu at reasonable price and quality of the food was excellent. Couldn't really complain about anything. Would definitely go back”

“Paid car parking Cafe is great Nice walk around the lake”

“Wild , nice circular walk , parking available. A bit off road , still can go with a pram if you have medium to larger wheels. Can feed ducks there and see bunnies if you are lucky enough.”

“A fantastic place for a leisurely dog walk! The views are beautiful and the path is well maintained! There’s a large car park which you pay £2.50 for 4 hours which is very good value! There’s a cafe serving a wide range of food and snacks, plus toilets by the reception. It’s great for dogs and there’s ply of bins along the lake path! There’s a playground and nature trail for kids to keep them interested! Plus a light railway too!”

“The park had a lot of issues with litter etc for a while, but recently it's been lovely again. Gorgeous wildlife, squirrels, birds, bees all thriving. Flower gardens were a bit overgrown but I honestly like it, so many ducks and geese, and even saw wakefields resident kingfishers enjoying the pond. Secret garden was tranquil and tidy, pond was drained though which was a shame. We did find some old gravestones in the woods too though which were really interesting to see ♥️”

“Noticed sign as driving past so stopped and had a walk. Lovely wooded and open areas, easy to follow path. Max found a stream, bmx track looks great too, friendly folk walking past. An actual car park too, I'll know for next time!”

“This was such a great experience. You walk through scenarios, dentist, dolls house, army of the dead and more. There are actors in costume and as your walking round they jump out on you. It is so good, very scarey I really enjoyed it. Will definitely go back next year.”

“Love this area. Paths are well laid out and most of them are mobility scooter/wheelchair friendly. Great to let your dog off the lead. Not just paths but nature areas as well. Highly recommended”

“Such a lovely cafe, dog friendly, the staff were so kind and welcoming, the holiday park is beautiful, a great place to eat :)”

“Fantastic pools, the staff are lovely and helpful! I love that they have the main pool and the studio pool for the younger kids. They also have a fun splash area with toys and fountains for the little ones! The studio pool is always warmer than the public, which makes it perfect for kids. There's also a great number of lockers - we never struggle to find one to use. The gym is also nice, it's small but it has everything you'd need as a regular gym attender.”

“A lovely area with lots of trees and footpaths. There were plenty of wild flowers just beginning to open. Lots of footpaths with dog walkers.”

“Parked here last Sunday to go for my Covid vaccination. Free parking on Sundays and bank holidays (except Good Friday). Very close to vaccination centre.”

“Lovely local cafe - no nonsense retro food (as advertised!) Great for breakfasts and if you're lucky enough to go when they've got meat pie & chips on the lunchtime menu you won't be disappointed! Really friendly couple who run it, nothing is too much trouble.”

“High quality food at a great price point. My first visit to the 1814 restaurant at Hark to Mopsey for pie night did not disappoint! Attentive friendly staff and amazing food. Will definitely be coming back.”

“This is a lovely place to visit for a walk, you can walk all way round the dam or just halfway round by crossing the supplied bridge, and for fitter walker’s they have extended walks that go into the woods and along an old railroad. There’s a caffe and two pubs handy plus there’s a monitored car park that’s free for the first 2 hours 10/10”

“The antipasto sandwich is one of my favourite all time sandwiches. Coffee is incredible, prices are reasonable, all round a great spot for lunch”

“Nostell Priory in Wakefield is a peaceful mix of history and nature. The grand house and calm parkland are beautiful to explore, and we even saw cows grazing nearby, which made it feel extra serene. A lovely place for a quiet walk and fresh air.”

“Been coming here for years, past 20 years! The King's Arm pub used to be great but lately it's been a letdown Discovered a historical landmark today! Mount Tarry By It Good to have a little wander...”

“I had a blast on the Pugneys Light Railway today. Everyone I met there was superb, from the lady taking tickets to the gentleman driving the train. I had a very excitable autistic young man with me and everyone gave us plenty of space so I could make sure he was safe and enjoyed himself. The ride itself was really fun, there were two trains running so pretty much no wait to ride, and it was only £2 a head which is cracking great value. I may have to go back on my own some time!”

“Interesting and informative to walk round. Steps for better viewing, well maintained for picnics on the grass. Special events so check their website. Cafe and toilets plus kids park, really good few hours! Car park nearby (I parked in morrisons as shopping after) and you can walk around the outside, on paths and over the road.”

“This is a great place, just outside the centre. The main thing I love about this area, apart from the location and great natural vista is the fact that you can make the walk as short or long as you wish. There are so many variants using all the interconnected loops it's great on foot or bike. My only concern is too many people get to hear about it and it gets over used... Maybe a "Washlands Trust" could be started so more people can enjoy it, and it can be naturally maintained for all to enjoy. I would suggest all to go and enjoy the nature on your doorstep... responsibly.”

“Beautiful castle ruin. Stunning scenery. Breathtaking views at sunset. Nice and spooky at night. Steeped in history. What's not to love?!”

“never had a bad meal here so 5 stars,bear in mind cash only”

“Beautiful place for a walk- lots of ducks and wild waterfowl, so dogs need to be controlled around wildlife! Difficult to find parking sometimes as not well marked on Google maps but an easy walk from the village.”

“We went it for a pre show meal at the theatre and was so happy with the atmosphere, decor, staff and the food was outstanding. We precooked and were greeted by a lovely staff member and we were quickly seated then moved as there was a light flickering and we had a party member with epilepsy (they were very accommodating) We had a look at the menu and they have a good selection the meals are little more expensive then average but there worth every penny. We ordered and the meals came out quickly, hot and looked amazing. The food was impeccable and we were over the moon with what we ordered and decided to treat ourselves to a dessert and we were very happy with our puds as well. Overall a fantastic experience with amazing food and wonderful staff and can't wait to go back there again and I have already recommended this restaurant too others”

“From the service on the ordering speaker to the collecting window this is by far the best drive through service you’ll get! The staff are so amazing and friendly, and the food is ace!! Got to get to Leon!!!!! Morley/Junction 27!!”

“I stayed here to see family for a few days, first visit what can I say it was lovely, staff were great made me feel welcome breakfast was very tasty and the girls on breaking were great even the evening staff also the housekeeper I met that day was very pleasant, only downside the car park was full of litter shout out to Karen Caitlin Mandy and the lady on the evening shift forgot her name will definitely be back.”

“Absolutely amazing food, we go often here when the buffet is on the staff are the most lovely staff we haven’t come across any staff in any restaurant more friendly the female manager especially. All the staff are so good with my little girl and let her choose where she sits if it’s not too busy. Would 100% recommend:)”

“Food You can't really beat the breakfast here as its a Premier Inn breakfast, so an all you can eat buffet. The kids, Mrs and myself love it. The only things I would alter is the bacon cooking a bit longer and adding chopped tomatoes, but for the price I won't complain about it. As with all the Premier Breakfasts you get the hot food, cereal, toast, jams, spreads, refils on tea and coffee. Like I said for the price its bang on. Service Each time ee have been here the table service is quick. The staff always make sure your table is free of plates so you can keep topping up the hole your trying to fill. Usually you can pay after your food but we always pay before. We have never had to have staff fix, alter anything while we have visited. Atmosphere Your typical Premier Inn restaurant style place, clean and tidy and kid friendly. Perfect for families or for business trips even if your on your own you cant really knock it.”
