About
Take a stroll along the lakeside path, take a ride on the Pugneys Light Railway (available on selected weekends – pugneyslightrailway.co.uk) or make the short walk up the hill to Sandal Castle and see how picturesque the country park looks from above.
A haven for wildlife, the country park offers nature lovers the chance to see a variety of natural habitats. Head along the woodland trail to see a glimpse of Pugneys’ second lake, a hive of wildlife activity.
Treat yourself to a bite to eat in the Boat House Café or, if the weather is fine, bring your own picnic and enjoy the panoramic views across the lake.
This venue is talking part in Wakefield Council’s Seed Collection campaign for 2023! To take part, collect any conkers, acorns, sweet chestnuts, and beech nuts that you see on the ground or on the trees, and then drop your collected seeds into the seed bin.
