Advantages: The Farm

Disadvantages: Can be tricky to locate.

Canon Hall is a great day out, especially if you have children to entertain. If you live in South or West Yorkshire then Canon Hall is within easy reach of you, and you should make the effort to pop along on a sunny day.

As well as the house and grounds which you can explore and enjoy, Canon Hall has a working farm. For a small fee (I forget the exact amounts, but it's very reasonable) you can enter the farm area and feed the animals. There's all the usual farmyard favourites in attendance - cows, pigs, sheep, goats, birds and even a few llama. Plus, for smaller children who maybe be a little scared at the thought of feeding a cow, there are petting areas with guinea pigs, rabbits and the like that can be held under supervision.

The farm area is well kept and managed, and has regular cleaning stations so you can get rid of any germs you may have picked up along the way.

As you complete your tour of the farm, you can visit the onsite farm shop where you can pick up some beautiful local produce (if you can stomach it after having just stroked the animals that are now presented as chops!!) or you can take a stroll around the grounds and enjoy the views.

All in all, Canon Hall is one of Barnsley's hidden gems and well worth a day out - even if you don't have kids!!

Summary: Get yourself there.
