Wakefield Car & Van Hire
Hiring a car at Wakefield
Wakefield is a small city in West Yorkshire, 10 miles south of Leeds. The town grew in the 19th century, consequent to textile manufacturing, mining and grain storage; the town also had one of the largest large cattle markets in the country. The city has links to the legend of Robin Hood, and has a splendid Georgian quarter around the St John's church, while the Unitarian Church on Westgate has a catacomb. Wakefield is also the location of a category A prison. The town centre underwent major regeneration in 2011 with the opening of the Trinity Walk shopping centre, joining the long-established Ridings, which opened in the 1980s, one of the first indoor malls in the country. The Hepworth Gallery also opened in 2011, and half a million visitors came to view the exhibits on its first year of opening. Wakefield is close to the National Mining Museum at Overton and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Breton. Westgate Railway Station is on the East Coast Mainline; there is a second station at Kirkgate with services to Sheffield and South Yorkshire towns. Junctions 39, 40 and 41 of the M1, with links to the M62, serve the city. Wakefield is a great place to take advantage of a great car hire deal from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The Enterprises premises are a five-minute bus ride from Westgate Railway Station, on Dewsbury Road, and can be reached by buses 102, 268A and 117.
