About

Sandal sits just over a mile from Wakefield city centre and is built around a mix of residential streets, local shops and community facilities. The ruined remains of Sandal Castle occupy a central position in the area: a medieval motte-and-bailey site with surviving stonework that marks the place where the 1460 Battle of Wakefield took place. The castle and the adjacent St Helen’s Church lie within a public green space that is used for walks and occasional community events, and the layout of streets radiates from this historic core.

Transport links include Sandal and Agbrigg railway station on the Wakefield Line, which provides regular services toward Wakefield and Leeds, and local bus routes that connect the neighbourhood with the wider district. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war estates, and there are primary schools, small retail parades and sports facilities serving residents. The combination of the castle earthworks beside an active parish church gives Sandal a distinctive historical focus within the town.
