Penistone lies in the rural western reaches of the Barnsley borough, bordering the Peak District National Park.

The Penistone Paramount cinema, housed in a former temperance hall, is one of the oldest continuously operating cinemas in the UK. The area is connected by the Penistone Line railway, a scenic route linking Huddersfield and Sheffield. Local agriculture remains significant, with the weekly market and annual agricultural show reflecting this enduring connection to the land.
