Sandal Castle Skyline Art Print

Description

This digital collage print captures the dramatic silhouette of Sandal Castle rising above the tranquil waters of Pugneys Country Park, aiming to blend history and natural beauty in one interesting composition.

Sandal Castle, perched on a prominent ridge in Wakefield, dates back to the 12th century and played a key role in the Wars of the Roses, most notably as the site of the Battle of Wakefield in 1460, where Richard, Duke of York, met his end. Though now a romantic ruin, its earthworks and stone remains still command sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.

In contrast, the peaceful lake and parkland of Pugneys, once an opencast mine, have been transformed into a popular recreational haven for walkers, families, and watersports enthusiasts. It’s also a vital habitat for birds and wildlife, offering a perfect reflection – sometimes quite literally – of Yorkshire’s ability to blend the past with the present.

A perfect piece for lovers of Yorkshire heritage and landscape, this artwork aims to provide you the opportunity for further thought and exploration of the multi-layered stories behind this much-loved local landmark.
