Hoylandswaine Village on the way out of Barnsley

Hoylandswaine village is an interesting place in a number of respects and expresses the spirit of many other villages of the Pennine foothills of South Yorkshire very well.

Hoylandswaine is surrounded by attractive countryside, it clings to a hillside close to 900 feet above sea level and is steeped in family and early agricultural and industrial history.

Recognised as an attractive place to live with good access to local places of employment and schools it has also seen a quite dramatic increase in housing in recent years. Barnsley and the M1 motorway can be reached very easily along the Silkstone by-pass and the old market town of Penistone is not far away down the hill to the West of the village. Huddersfield and Sheffield can be reached relatively easily either way on the A629.
