Audio guide9 stops

Behind Wakefield’s dignified stone lies a city shaped by secrets and storms. This self-guided audio tour lets you trace the footsteps of rebels, inmates, bishops, and unsung visionaries through grand halls and shadowed corners that locals walk past every day. What whispers echoed behind the forbidding walls of HM Prison Wakefield during its most infamous trials? Which showdown at County Hall tilted power in unexpected directions? And whose forbidden meeting sparked scandal inside the tranquil Diocese grounds? Turn from bustling streets to silent courtyards and vault beneath monuments to discover untold dramas. Walk into conflicts of faith, political intrigue, personal vendettas, and moments history tried to bury. Each stop invites you to piece together stories lost between faded facades and bustling present. Uncover Wakefield as few ever see it. Begin your journey beyond the surface and unlock the hidden life of this remarkable city.
