BARNSLEY BEST SELLERS
BARNSLEY
Barnsley is a large market town in South Yorkshire. Like most towns, it has plentiful parks for a walk with the dogs or a day out with children. Some parks are also ideal for biking and hiking. One of those parks is Dearne Valley Country Park at Pontefract Road.
Dearne Valley Country Park is known for bringing wildlife and nature into the heart of Barnsley. It is an 80-hectare park that includes Cliffe Wood, a local wildlife site, riverside habitats, wet woodland and grassland. The tree-lined riverfront site has flat hiking and biking trails making it a gentle area for the energetic and disabled alike.
The park has two lakes - the largest lake forms a circular route where families can enjoy strolls by the water. Upstream of this lake is the wildlife lake where kingfishers, frogs, and other animals can be seen during the summer months. Ducks and swans are also present and are the main attraction in the lakes.
Dearne Valley Country Park has for years been a natural green haven. It is a great place to wander and take in some nature. It is strongly recommended that visitors go to this country park.
Another country park in Barnsley is maintained by Cannon Hall. This park in Cawthorne is an 18th-century landscaped park and formal gardens. It features important collections in the walled garden including rare pear trees. It also has Cannon Hall Museum, garden centre and open farm.
Cannon Hall Country Park is also dog-friendly. A pet-friendly cafe is open beside the farm. The tarmac path up the hill makes it an ideal place for walking. If a sit down is needed, there are plenty of benches in the park. The park is indeed a well-maintained space with several facilities to enjoy.
Elsecar Park, an award-winning Green Flag and Yorkshire in Bloom Gold park, is a 20-hectare nature reserve and park in Armroyd Lane. It is a fun place for the family for its children's play area, games court, crazy gold and 9-hole pitch and putt.
The park has a bandstand and formal terrace gardens with a quiet picnic area, a toddler cycle track and a cafe. Its reservoir allows fishing on the south bank and a bird hide and feeding area on the north. It is divided into two parts - the top park is where galas and funfairs have been held, and the bottom is for flower beds, herbaceous borders, and relaxed wooded areas. Onlookers can enjoy the lovely floral displays or those fishing in the reservoir.
For a pleasant walk among the wildflowers, there is Rabbit Ings Country Park in Lund Hill Lane. The park is popular with school children as they get to learn about the local wildlife. It is also a popular site for walking. Paths are flat, well-made with good surfaces, but some parts are steep and not suitable for people with walking difficulties.
Meanwhile, Wentworth Castle Gardens in Park Drive is a lovely place to be for a few hours. A National Trust park, it has lots to offer. It features a Victorian Greenhouse, Stainsborough Castle, monuments, and views of the countryside. The open grounds makes it a peaceful place to watch and listen to nature.
Wildflower plantings are present, and the glasshouse has been renovated. Exotic flowers and other plant species are in the glasshouse. Loads of impressive rhododendrons and other flowers can be found in the gardens. As a National Trust park, Wentworth Castle Gardens has improved over the years and is enjoyed by many.
In Huddersfield Road, there is a lovely green space with well-kept gardens and lots of trees. Wilthorpe Park is popular among families and dog walkers for its beautiful paths. The park is on a steep hill but still allows for different users. Like other family parks, Wilthorpe Park has a play area, a sports field, track and rubbings to keep children busy. It is most beautiful when all is in bloom and best visited when the weather is nice.
