The ruined castle is open to visitors and hosts events throughout the year.
Pontefract is also home to Pontefract Racecourse, one of the longest continuous flat racing circuits in Europe, and Pontefract Park, a large green space with a lake, sports facilities and play areas.

Well what can we say, we first met Luke Gilbert when we went to view a property and got chatting about selling our home. We made an appointment with him and set the wheels in motion to sell our property. In the first couple of days he had arranged quite a few viewings from which we got several offers, one which we did accept. Nothing was too much trouble for Luke, he went above and beyond just selling our property, he was always at the other end of the phone to answer any questions and he offered guidance wherever it was needed. We would highly recommend him, his commitment is 100% and you will get nothing but the best from Luke and Rosedale and Jones. Thank you for everything Luke we truly appreciate everything you have done for us.
Luke has been amazing, he goes the extra mile. I have moved house numerous times but without a doubt I feel on this occasion Luke has been genuinely interested and his worth ethics are second to none. thank you Luke.
Faultless! We were both very impressed with the support and advice from Luke Gilbert throughout the process of selling our house. Luke brings a professional and friendly approach to estate agency which has exceeded all previous experiences. Nothing was too much trouble - Luke gave helpful advice on how to make the house more sale-able, ensured that viewings went well and provided regular updates throughout the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Rosedale and Jones to anyone looking to sell their house. Their support and professionalism is head and shoulders above the rest.
Luke is very helpful, very professional and nothing is too much trouble. He will always call you back when he says he will which is fantastic as I have had a few bad experiences in regards to calls not being returned when promised... Would definitely recommend 😁.. Thank you for all you have done for me Luke.
Luke Gilberts service was first class throughout a complex sale. I would highly recommend his services for a seller of a property and thank him for dealing so efficiently with our sale.
Luke has just sold our house. He has been an excellent support and adviser throughout the whole sale process; nothing seems too much trouble. We feel that Luke has placed our interests first, sometimes ahead of his own, whilst making sure our buyers were looked after too. Luke is hard working, caring and professional in all his dealings. I can't praise Luke and Rosedale & Jones more highly!
David and I were referred to Rosedale & Jones to assist with the sale of our home in Mirfield, West Yorkshire and from our first conversation with them I knew we had made the right choice. Luke was very helpful, informative efficient and supportive. He made the sale of our home easy as we owned it for thirty seven years. Thanks for the very good service you provided.
Luke had his work cut out with me. At our first meeting I told him I’d had bad experiences before with estate agents and didn’t trust them much!!! Fast forward to our summer 2018 house sale. I couldn’t have been happier to be proved wrong. Luke was the best communicator and never left me feeling “out of the loop”. Needless to say I’ve recommended him to everyone who’s asked.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I cannot speak highly enough of Luke Gilbert at Rosedale & Jones Property Consultants in Normanton, I would have no hesitation in using him again in the future or in recommend him to any of my friends or family.
We have just completed our purchase of our new home today bought from Rosedale and Jones. The service that we have received from Luke especially has been exceptional, always keeping us updated, very professional and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Definitely a 5 out of 5 service, thank you.
Luke breaks the mould when it comes to Estate Agents. We used several on line Agencies to start with, but they weren't interested in us as clients once they had their money. Or they went bust! Luke took time to get to know us and our property and put together a fantastic sales package. He kept us informed all the way through the process, even at times when there was nothing to report. I have no hesitation in recommending Rosedale and Jones Property Consultants as the most professional Estate Agency I have ever trusted with the sale of my property.
Asking Luke to manage the sale of our property was the best decision we could have taken. He made it look easy; securing a sale in a matter of weeks after previous agents had wasted a year getting nowhere. Even better we felt that he really cared about how things were progressing, always kept us updated and gave us good advice which made us confident we were in safe hands. Luke was a pleasure to work with and we will be recommending him to anyone we know that’s planning to sell their home.
Excellent service in selling our house from start to finish, Luke's a true professional and is sure to exceed expectations in comparison to other estate agents. Would have no hesitation in recommending Luke to anyone looking to sell. His skills are a must in the property market
Very impressed with the hands on service offered by Luke Gilbert. I was recommended to use Luke after encountering issues with previous Agents. The difference was noticeable, nothing was too much trouble and I received regular updates and feedback thought the process.
OUTSTANDING! They made every effort to keep us informed throughout the entire process, with two viewings and an offer for the full asking price within two weeks of the board going up! I am extremely confident that R&J could pull this off again! Excellent service!
I have had an amazing experience with Rosedale & Jones. Luke was also incredible, he was always keeping me up to date with the purchase of my property can’t fault anything that he has done and I’m extremely grateful for all that he has done.
Professional, helpful and all about the service. I'd recommend them to anyone thinking about selling their home or struggling to do so.
What can I say about Luke Gilbert from Rosedale & Jones? Let's keep it simple. Perfect. The attention to detail, the advice, the general help and hard graft all combined to make the experience second to none. I have used other estate agents in the past. None anywhere near as good as Luke. Thank you.
