The Forgotten Tower
What you need to know before your trail
Georgie is reluctant to move when her husband inherits Wakefield Castle, but he is determined to restore its fortunes. When exploring her new home she finds an old handwritten recipe book which leads her to suspect that the castle hides secrets as troubling as her own . . .
In 1939, as war is declared, the Wakefield family open the castle to shelter unusual guests. As the Wakefield children learn to cope with the loss of their missing parents and the presence of newcomers, the castle becomes a refuge and a keeper of secrets.
As Georgie’s fascination for the castle grows, it becomes a place for her own escape. But when unravelling the mysteries of its past, she realises that in order to be truly free, she must confront what she most dreads.
Travel Guide
Wakefield Castle
Ok, so this is not a real castle sadly BUT there is a castle in Wakefield called Sandal Castle which is worth a visit. And Castle hill in Huddersfield.
“Miranda said that Wakefield Castle sometimes felt more like A wind tunnel than a house, it was so draughty. The ancient stone walls were never warm, and the mullioned windows seemed designed to let as much of the outside in as possible.”
Wait till you get to see the towers…..
