Nostell Priory & Parkland

If you feel like driving a bit outside Leeds, head to the little village of Nostell, close to Wakefield (West Yorkshire), and go for a walk around Nostell Priory, a 18th-century architectural masterpiece. This stunning Palladian house features a great art collection and a huge garden that stretches over 300 acres, where you can enjoy lovely walks and admire the green countryside. Take a break at the Nostell cafe, which offers enjoyable tea and scones.
