About

Silkstone, Hoylandswaine and Cawthorne form a rural area on the western edge of Barnsley, characterised by farmland, woodland and historic villages. The landscape is defined by gentle hills and stone walls, with the underlying geology of the Silkstone coal seam having shaped its past.

The villages each have their own character, with notable buildings including the Norman-era St. Leonard's Church in Cawthorne. The area is known for the Cannon Hall estate, a country house with extensive parkland and museums. Remnants of its industrial history can be seen in old mine buildings and the route of the former Silkstone Waggonway.
