Frickley Country Park — Attraction in Wakefield

It's fairly local to me so I use it a lot (and have a soft spot for it), but this old pit site turned country park is now alive with nature. The grassland is home to wildflowers, larks, rabbits and more. The trees and rushes, especially along the lane leading into the park provide a habitat for a myriad of finches and other birds. Within the park itself, the paths are well established and there's plenty of opportunity to vary distance and route (up to 4 miles). There are also public footpaths into the open countryside beyond the park. There a couple of small car parks that can get busy on nice afternoons, but no other...

Frickley Park – Perfect for a Sunny Stroll! ☀️🌿

After a long day at work, my husband and I decided to stretch our legs (and maybe lose a gram or two before our next foodie stop) with a walk around Frickley Park. And what a great choice it was!

Plenty of open space, fresh air, and peaceful paths to soak up some much-needed Vitamin D. The park is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a casual stroll or a mini workout if you're feeling ambitious!

Bonus points: beautiful views, friendly atmosphere, and ideal for couples, families, or solo wanderers alike.

A great place to walk the dogs or go for a ride on your bike or horse! It's a huge area that would take a couple of hours to get round if you wanted to walk round it all. From the small car park you walk up quite a steep path right to the top of the hill. From the top you get amazing views of the surrounding countryside and villages. There's also some information plaques on the top telling you about Frickley Mine. It really is a lovely nature park and I will be back to walk the dogs...
