Canal-Side Setting

Canal Side Cottage Wakefield sits on a tarmacked canal towpath along the Calder & Hebble Navigation, with river views from its garden and terrace. The outdoor space includes a dining area and furniture, placed for watching barges pass by. A pub is an easy walk across the bridge, and walking and cycling paths start at the doorstep.
