Walton West Yorkshire Map

About Walton

Walton greets the traveller with a quiet composure, its houses gathered around a modest green. It lies 4.3 km south-south-east of Wakefield (from Wakefield: bearing 151°T, OS grid SE 353 171), and is situated west-south-west of Crofton village. The land here, a gentle slope towards the south, catches the afternoon sun with a peculiar warmth, illuminating the red brick and stone that form the village's substance. Though no grand monuments mark its presence, the unassuming elegance of Walton's residential streets, where gardens spill forth in riotous colour, hints at generations of careful tending. A faint scent of damp earth and freshly cut grass often hangs in the air, a subtle reminder of the surrounding agricultural fields that have long shaped Walton's character.
