There’s more than meets the eye in historic Castleford.

The town is home to the award-winning Castleford Forum Museum, where you can explore the local history and discover the town’s 2,500-year-old story from the Celtic Iron Age chariot to a Roman fortified town, the birth of Rugby League and a snapshot of the vanished way of life of the pit villages.

Head to the waterfront and visit Queen’s Mill, which is thought to be the largest stone grinding mill in the world, with twenty pairs of grinding stones.

Explore the fascinating 900-year-old history of the mill on special open days throughout the year. Then take a well-earned break at Queen’s Mill Tearooms and enjoy a coffee or treat yourself to afternoon tea!

Find your next adrenaline rush at Xscape Yorkshire. The ultimate entertainment destination with activities ranging from skiing, and climbing to golfing. Then round off your adventure with a movie and a game of tenpin bowling – lovely stuff.

With its friendly community, beautiful parks, and a variety of shopping and dining options, Castleford Town provides an engaging experience for all visitors. Browse a range of independent boutiques and the town centre’s colourful market to find those perfect gifts. Just across the road from Xscape Yorkshire you’ll find Junction 32 Outlet Shopping Village over 80 high street favourites.

Head to the outskirts of town and be a kid again at Diggerland – this ode to diggers, dumper trucks and other earthmovers lets you get hands on and have a go yourself – be honest: where else in Yorkshire are you going to drive a massive digger?

Want a quieter day? Head out of town to RSPB Fairburn Ings nature reserve for a spot of birdwatching and an invigorating walk around the lakes.
