Pontefract
Welcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Pontefract. The Pontefract hotels listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Pontefract. From Pontefract you can explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, a lovely upland area of limestone hills and pastoral valleys at the heart of the Pennines. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation from our list of Pontefract hotels and/or the surrounding area. Pontefract is home to one of the country’s most famous historical castles. Built by the Norman de Lacy family shortly after the Conquest of 1066, Pontefract Castle combined natural defences with an easily accessible position, near the main North-South road. Nearby is Nostell Priory, a beautiful example of 18th century architecture by James Paine that also boasts some of Robert Adam’s finest interiors and an unrivalled collection of Chippendale furniture. Pontefract racecourse is one of the best appointed courses of its kind in the country. The motorway links provide good communications not only with local training centres but also with other major training centres in the country, notably Newmarket, with the result that the racing is both competitive and entertaining.
