10. Afternoon Tea at Slaley Hall

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserBooked afternoon tea at Slayley hall. On arrival shown to table set up in the main restaurant which was unfortunately very noisy due to amount of people in there. Asked if we could have it in one of the smaller rooms and we were shown to the whisky snug which was perfect for afternoon tea. Waiter who looked after us was amazing and we felt like nothing was too much trouble. He explained everything that was on the afternoon tea and options. The food was lovely and very fresh and the surroundings perfect for an afternoon tea.

139***20Vadah, this restaurant, for me, the overall feeling is very refined, and the dishes are very good-looking, which is completely unexpected, and several signature dishes on their menu are must-orders.

TheForkUserFirst time I've been for a while and it was nice, although 3 of our steaks (ordered rare) were quite overcooked, probably a medium, medium-well. The other (medium-rare) was great. Friendly service. Suspect we'll be back.

14. The Old Yard Tapas Bar

滋滋淘#Creation Incentive Program Share 10,000 Yuan Cash Wakefield is like a forgotten poetry book, with surprises hidden on every page. It is not as prosperous as London, but it is a place where you can linger with its art, history and natural tranquility. If you are tired of popular attractions, this will be a hidden treasure of your trip to the UK. Day 1: Echoes of Art and Industry Take a train from London in the early morning and arrive at Wakefield in West Yorkshire in about two hours. This underrated city is famous for its art, historical sites and quiet natural scenery, and is an ideal destination to escape the hustle and bustle. 1. Yorkshire Sculpture Park Yorkshire Sculpture Park The first stop is Yorkshire Sculpture Park on the outskirts of the city. This 500-acre outdoor art space perfectly combines natural landscapes with modern sculptures. The works of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth are scattered in the meadows and woods. The sun shines through the clouds on the bronze sculptures, as if giving them breath. While walking, I encountered a group of students sketching. The interaction between art and nature is particularly vivid here. 2. National Coal Mining Museum (National Coal Mining Museum of England) Visit the National Coal Mining Museum in the afternoon, which is a witness to the British Industrial Revolution. Wear a miner's helmet and follow the guide to go deep into the 140-meter underground mine to experience the working environment of miners in the 19th century. There is only a headlamp in the dark, and the miners' stories told by the guide are awe-inspiring. The museum also retains the complete miners' dormitory and steam locomotive, and the historical atmosphere is overwhelming. Dinner recommendation: "The Black HorseThe Black Horse Hotel Restaurant", a traditional pub in the old district of the city center, try Yorkshire pudding with beef stew, and the local beer "Wakefield Ale" is mellow and slightly bitter, which perfectly dispels the chill. Day 2: Historical Relics and City Walks 3. Sandal Castle Sandal Castle Ruins Climb up to the ruins of Sandal Castle in the morning. This 12th-century castle is famous for its battles in the War of the Roses. Standing among the ruins, overlooking the panoramic view of Wakefield, the city looms in the morning mist, and the heavy sense of history and the tranquility of nature are intertwined here. 4. Hepworth Gallery Bridgewater Marina (The Hepworth Wakefield) In the afternoon, go to the Hepworth Gallery. This angular modern building is named after local artist Barbara Hepworth. Her plaster prototypes and abstract sculptures are exhibited in the museum. Light shines into the exhibition hall through the sawtooth skylight, forming a wonderful light and shadow dialogue with the works. The cafe on the top floor has an excellent view, overlooking the waves of the River Calder. 5. Wakefield Cathedral Walk to Wakefield Cathedral in the city center. The spire of this Gothic church points to the sky. The stained glass windows inside depict religious stories, and the afternoon sun projects them into a colorful picture on the ground. It happened to be an organ performance, and the solemn music echoed under the dome, which was breathtaking. Day 3: The healing of nature and the countryside 6. Angler's Country Park For the last day, choose Angler's Country Park in the suburbs. The trails surrounded by lakes and wetlands are suitable for cycling or jogging, and occasionally encounter swans flying over the water. The bird watching hut in the park is a hidden treasure. Observe loons and kingfishers through telescopes and feel the vitality of nature. 7. Local markets and shopping Before returning, visit Wakefield Market, Wakefield Cathedral, where the stalls are full of handmade cheeses, baked snacks and vintage crafts. I found a second-hand illustration book, and the owner enthusiastically recommended the nearby independent cafe "The Coffee House", whose sea salt caramel latte is a must.

18. Hong Kong House

健康美丽的芳芳Hongkong House is a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant. There are so many local Chinese and international students who come here to drink tea. Their dim sum is really good.
