Enjoy a relaxed day at Cannon Hall near Barnsley — an elegant country house with a fine decorative arts collection, set in sweeping parkland and formal gardens. Wander the historic rooms filled with paintings, furniture, and ceramics, stroll the lakeside paths and colourful flower borders, and pause for coffee in the café or a picnic on the lawns. There’s time to browse the gift shop for keepsakes, and, if you wish, pop next door to the famous Cannon Hall Farm (entry extra) for friendly animals, a browse through the farm shop, or a sweet fix from the bakery. With woodland walks, ornamental gardens, sculpture dotted through the grounds, and wide open green space, it’s a gentle, unhurried day out blending history, scenery, and plenty of photo spots before the comfy coach home.
