Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A large town in southern Yorkshire, Barnsley was for many years a centre of the coal mining industry. Daniel Defoe, writing in the 17th century, called it 'Black Barnsley'. The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council operates Canon House Museum, a 17th century country house and landscaped gardens which houses a museum of fine and decorative arts. Just 3 miles away is Wentworth Castle, a restored 18th century Grade I listed garden, replete with ornamental follies. Also nearby are the partial remains of Monk Bretton Priory, a 12th century monastery.
