Tourist Guide

New ponds, Newland. You won't find these on the OS Map, or Google Earth. This area was extensively mined with opencast collieries, and clay workings for brick making. It is now being reclaimed, partly by landfill with Wakefield's rubbish. These ponds are approximately on the site of the brickworks shown on the OS map.

Staff at Oulton Hall are the stand out feature. From check in to Oliver in the restaurant to the waiting staff at breakfast, all are well above expectations. Old school service where staff wait for you to pass rather than rushing to get where THEY need to be is actually quite refreshing these days. ...

Room was spotless. Obviously very new. Very well appointed and would be perfect for a longer stay as it was basically a small flat. Check in was very friendly and helpful.
