Cannon Hall is a historic house and parkland set in Cawthorne, Barnsley, with a museum holding collections spanning four centuries, from Georgian furniture to 17th century Dutch masterpieces and contemporary British studio ceramics. The park and gardens, along with the Pear Tree Pantry and car park, are open seven days a week, while the museum itself opens Thursday to Sunday, 11am-4pm. It also hosts weddings amid its landscaped grounds and runs seasonal exhibitions, such as one exploring 300 years of local history. It suits those interested in art, history and gardens, and with Silkstone Common station 2.7 miles away and 22 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it works well as part of a wider stay in the area.
