Crigglestone is a civil parish in the metropolitan borough of Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, England. It combines a village feel with surrounding farmland and some small industrial areas, reflecting a history shaped by coal mining and later suburban expansion; remnants of that industrial past sit alongside more recent housing and green corridors.
The parish acts as a commuter and local-service community with easy road links into Wakefield and further afield towards Leeds, while retaining footpaths, sports clubs and community facilities that give it a strong local identity. Conservation-minded projects and informal open spaces mean it still offers a rural sense of place even as it adapts to modern housing and infrastructure needs.
