Barnsley is a metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire, on the M1 between Sheffield and Wakefield. Besides the town of Barnsley it takes in the towns of Hoyland, Penistone and Wombwell and many villages. West of the motorway the borough is rural, and the east is mostly urban and industrial.
Barnsley itself is a market town in the valley of the River Dearne. It grew on linen weaving, coal mining and glass making, and its brass bands began as social clubs for mining communities. Experience Barnsley, a museum of local life, is in the Town Hall. Cannon Hall at Cawthorne is a museum set in parkland and gardens, Wentworth Castle at Stainborough is a country house with gardens, and Elsecar Heritage Centre occupies Victorian engineering workshops in a village built around ironworks and collieries. Monk Bretton Priory and Worsbrough Mill are among the other places to visit.
Much of the borough is green belt. West of the M1 the land climbs into the Pennine foothills, and beyond Penistone a small part lies in the Peak District National Park. Moorland rises west of Penistone, and the Trans Pennine Trail follows the old Woodhead railway out of the town. In the Dearne Valley, RSPB Old Moor is a wetland reserve made after the local coal mines closed.
Barnsley Interchange combines the town's railway and bus stations. Northern trains on the Hallam and Penistone lines run to Leeds, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Nottingham and Lincoln, and Penistone, Dodworth and Darton have stations of their own. The A628 crosses the Peak District west towards Manchester.
