Neighborhood

About the neighborhood

Penistone is a small South Yorkshire market town 15 miles north of Sheffield and close to the boundary with West Yorkshire. It is ideally positioned for exploring the Peak District National Park and offers a good mix of easy rural walking in the immediate vicinity and spectacular wild moorland a short drive (or a good hike!) away. Also close by is the attractive town of Holmfirth (of 'Last of the Summer Wine' TV fame), the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and the National Museum of Mining (a preserved former colliery with underground tours).
