A typical Yorkshire town central point full of pubs, coffee shops and the usual. Great at Xmas and market day on a Wednesday is worth a browse around. Parking is a bit touch and go and usually difficult to find a space. Best bet is to use the car park just behind the square. Bed race day in the Square is a must!!

It's a short stay carpark. It's always very busy on a Saturday and can be hard to get a space.
