If you can’t already tell the difference between dry and sweet or red and rosé, a visit to Holmfirth Vineyard (10 minutes’ drive) might help you brush up on your wine-tasting skills. With vineyard tours and wine tasting, it’s likely you’ll leave with your tastebuds tingling. Planning on a fair few walks while you’re near the Peak District too? You may want to join the Pennine Way over Black Hill (20 minutes) – or, for a walk outside the national park, it’s around an hour's loop to and from the car park to the splendid waterfalls at Folly Dolly Falls (15 minutes). For a more leisurely stroll, Cannon Hall Museum, Park and Gardens (20 minutes) has the gardens of a historical home and a museum inside. Other easy-going spots include the open-air exhibitions around the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (half an hour) or the nature walks around Wentworth Castle Gardens (half an hour). If you’re on the lookout for other outdoor activities, Underbank Reservoir (15 minutes) is the place to add watersports like paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing to your itinerary.
