THE MARKET TOWN OF BARNSLEY

Barnsley’s long history as both a mining and market town gives it an advantage over other cities as it offers a number of historical attractions that will be of interest to the visitor. The history can be traced all the way back to the eleventh century. In addition to the historical aspects, visitors to Barnsley will discover a vibrant town center that features a cosmopolitan mix of museums, art galleries, theatres, and cafes. Naturally, there is no shortage of shopping opportunities at the famous seven-hundred-year-old market.

PLACES TO VISIT

  • Cannon Hall: Just outside of Barnsley is this magnificent stately home. The house features a museum and the grounds are lovely for wandering in the summer.
  • Pot House Hamlet: This boutique attraction is housed in a fifteenth-century mill. There are a number of little shops within and the nearby village is a beautiful setting to explore.
  • Elsecar Heritage Centre: This mix of historical buildings is home to shops, cafes, and galleries. A steam railway offers regular rides during the summer and holiday seasons.
  • Yorkshire Sculpture Park: Sculptures from famous artists like Henry Moore, Elizabeth Frink, and Barbara Hepworth are on display in this beautiful setting.
  • National Coal Mining Museum: About a half hour drive from the town centre is the National Coal Mining Museum. Given Barnsley’s mining history, the museum is worth a visit.
