Fall in love with historic houses and gardens

History and horticulture combine to dramatic effect at Cannon Hall Museum Park and Gardens, Wentworth Castle Gardens and Wortley Hall, three of Barnsley’s best-kept secrets. 

Step back in time to enjoy wonderful scenery and breathtaking architecture at Cannon Hall, an impressive Georgian country house and museum just outside central Barnsley. It’s set in 70 acres of historic parkland and beautiful landscaped gardens you can roam around; inside, discover a collection of fine and decorative art. 

The Grade I-listed landscape and gardens at nearby Wentworth Castle Gardens are renowned for their magnificence. Be amazed by the collections of rhododendrons, camellias and magnolias.
