Welcome to Lupset

Lupset is a small suburban area located in the city of Wakefield, West Yorkshire. It is situated approximately 2 miles south-east of Wakefield city centre and is bordered by the areas of Portobello, Flanshaw, and Alverthorpe. Lupset is a relatively new area, having been developed in the 1950s and 1960s, and is primarily residential in nature. The area is known for its quiet streets, green spaces, and good transport links to Wakefield and other nearby towns and cities.

One of the main features of Lupset is its proximity to Pugneys Country Park, a popular outdoor recreation area that offers a range of activities such as boating, fishing, and cycling. The park is situated on the site of a former quarry and covers over 250 acres of land, including a large lake that is popular with anglers and water sports enthusiasts. Lupset residents also benefit from easy access to Wakefield city centre, which offers a range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

Despite its relatively small size, Lupset has a strong sense of community and is home to a number of local amenities such as shops, pubs, and community centres. The area is served by several primary schools and is within easy reach of secondary schools in nearby areas. Lupset is also well-connected to the wider region, with good transport links to Leeds, Bradford, and other nearby towns and cities via the M1 motorway and local bus and train services.
