Our day starts with a visit to the City of Wakefield. Plenty of interest here including the Barbara Hepworth Art and Sculpture Museum. Lots of coffee shops and places to eat. You can lunch here or take a picnic to Nostell Priory which has some lovely areas to eat. We also have the option of a guided tour of the beautiful Cathedral. Then we are off to the National Trust owned Nostell Priory. A splendid Palladian Mansion built with the fortunes made by the Winn Family from the Textile Industry in London. Full of Robert Adam and Chippendale influence. This beautiful house is full of treasures which includes a 300 year old doll’s house, which has been in
the family for the duration, lovely gardens and for the more energetic there are interesting walks in the spacious grounds and by the lakes. There is also a cafe here.
