Wakefield's Waterways

Relax and cool off with family and friends ...

Take a stroll alongside one of Britain's many picturesque canals or rivers.

Take a picnic or stop off and treat yourselves to ice-creams; just the thing for hot sunny days!

The Hepworth Wakefield (opening winter 2009/10) has been designed with visitors in mind.

The new gallery will offer excellent visitor facilities including a Shop and Cafe serving a selection of delicious, freshly prepared food made from locally sourced produce.

Terraces spilling out from the Cafe, lead down to the landscaped sculpture garden and a restored historic watermill beside the River Calder - perfect place to relax.

The Hepworth Wakefield includes a new pedestrian bridge over the River Calder to link the gallery and wider waterfront with Wakefield City Centre (approx 5-10 minutes walk away).
