Places to stay in PontefractPontefract is an historic market town in West Yorkshire, England, traditionally in the West Riding, near the A1 (or Great North Road) and the M62 motorway. Pontefract's deep, sandy soil makes it one of the few British places in which liquorice can be successfully grown. The town has a liquorice-sweet industry; and the famous Pontefract Cakes are produced, though the liquorice plant itself is no longer grown there. While liquorice growing disappeared some time ago, other long-standing traditions such as its large number of public houses and its racecourse continue to provide entertainment for visitors and inhabitants alike. The Castle of Pontefract was built on an elevated rock, commanding extensive and picturesque views. The north-west prospect takes in the beautiful vale along which flows the Aire, skirted by woods and plantations and in April 1649 demolition of the castle began. The ruins of the castle remain today and are publicly accessible. |
