About

Durkar and Crigglestone are residential areas on the southwestern edge of Wakefield. The landscape is characterised by a mix of housing estates, from interwar semis to more recent developments, set among gentle slopes. Local shops and services are concentrated along Barnsley Road, which forms a central artery. The area retains a semi-rural feel in parts, with open fields and pockets of woodland bordering the communities.

A notable local feature is the medieval Crigglestone Stone Cross, which stands at a junction near the old church. The area is bordered by the M1 motorway to the west, and the Park Hill Colliery spoil heap, now grassed over, remains a prominent landmark in the scenery.
