Nostell Priory


Nostell is a Palladian house located just outside of Wakefield in West Yorkshire. The house dates from 1733 and was built on the site of a medieval priory. The house and grounds were given to the National Trust in 1953.

Leaving our car in the car park (which is free for National Trust members), we started our visit with a walk to the Lower Lake. We found a place to have our picnic and watched the swans and waterhens on the water.


From here, we walked to the Obelisk Lodge, which is a mile's walk away. The lodge was built in the 17th century in some of the 300 acres of parkland. The map you are given on arrival lists different walks around the grounds with varying difficulty.
