About

Penistone lies in the rural western reaches of the Barnsley borough, bordering the Peak District National Park. The area is characterised by its elevated position on the Pennine ridge, with open moorland and agricultural land defining the landscape. The town itself serves as a market and residential centre for the surrounding villages, with a historic core centred around its market hall.

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.
