Set just outside Barnsley town centre, The Collier’s Rest is perfectly placed for exploring everything that makes this corner of South Yorkshire such a gem. Once known for its proud mining heritage, Barnsley today is full of warmth, character and friendly faces, a proper Yorkshire town with a big heart. You’ll find everything you need close by local shops, cafés, traditional pubs and great places to eat. Barnsley Market is one of the oldest in the country, buzzing with local produce, chatter and that unmistakable Yorkshire welcome. For a good walk (or a moment of quiet), head to Cannon Hall Park, Worsbrough Mill & Country Park, or the beautiful Trans Pennine Trail, all just a short drive away. If you fancy venturing further, you’re in an ideal spot for discovering the Peak District National Park, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and the cultural cities of Sheffield and Leeds, all within easy reach by car or train.
