The town of Pontefract (or Pomfret) was important in medieval times for its Castle, which was one of the greatest in Yorkshire. A Royal stronghold in the north, Richard II was imprisoned here and died in mysterious circumstances. In 1649 during the civil war the fortress finally fell to Parliament and was subsequently demolished although remains of the castle can still be seen today. You can visit the underground magazine cut out of solid rock and see where civil war prisoners carved their names into the cell walls.
