  • Small, quiet well-maintained family farm site just outside Silkstone
  • Just off the Trans Pennine Trail and a few miles from Peak District
  • Pubs, supermarket and train station all within walking distance
Heading off into the countryside for a walk or two? Or perhaps hoping to ride bikes along quiet lanes? Stay at South Yorkshire’s Broad Close Farm, just outside the village of Silkstone, and you’ll be able to stroll (or pedal) straight out into woodlands or onto rural pathways. And there’s more… this small and well-maintained site is handy for getting out to or set out to see intriguing places like Pot House Hamlet and the historic site of the Huskar Pit disaster. The Silkstone Waggonway is close by for more cycling and strolling days, and more intrepid bike riders might like to note that this farm is just off the Trans Pennine Trail (roughly at its halfway point, in fact). And of course, the Peak District National Park is but a few miles away… If that all sounds a bit too energetic, you can instead tour the area by train from the local station (10 minutes’ walk away and part of the scenic Penistone line) or hail a bus from the village. All sorts of attractions are close by too, including farm parks, stately homes and the national coal mining museum. Being rural doesn’t mean being cut off around here: a walk of five minutes or so will get you up to the village for two pubs, a steak house and a small supermarket (perhaps to pick up supplies for an evening by the barbecue or campfire back at the farm?)

What customers say

Nice, well-placed spot with friendly hosts. Guests love the scenery, farm animals & big, flat pitches. Ablutions are clean & decent, though a bit dated. Good value for a chill countryside escape.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location was excellent for the places we wanted to visit with our children.

We loved that we could pitch where we wanted when we got there so chose a sunny spot. We were also fortunate to have a water supply right next to where we pitched but there were loads of these scattered around the site.

There was a microwave to use and a fridge and freezer which was a great addition for a campsite. It made packed lunching so much easier.

Disliked Although the showers were great, warm and powerful enough. It would be nicer if these facilities were updated slightly.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Location easy to get to from motorway, friendly check in at cafe. Toilets clean and 2 showers and washing up area all had plenty of hot water. Plenty of space at site and not overcrowded. You can choose where you want to pitch.
Plenty of wildlife, animals and activities to do either on site, or close by. Enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Disliked I don't know if there would be enough showers if the site was full.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious field in a great location to explore the Peak District. If you have kids the animals are great to see. Check in was painless, the owner was pleasant and quickly ran through everything including the shower facilities which were very clean.

Disliked A little close to a road that you cross for the showers but it wasn’t too busy.

Local attractions

This is a great area to explore for those with an interest in history – you’ll get a real feel for times gone by if you pack in outings to Cannon Hall Museum, Park and Gardens (10 minutes’ drive), the National Coal Mining Museum for England (20 minutes) and the excellent Elsecar Heritage Centre (20 minutes), where you can see craft workshops, old ironworks and a steam railway. If you’d like to take in more of the area’s lovely views, head to Holmfirth (20 minutes), the epicentre of a network of great walking routes, or take a stroll around Wentworth Castle Gardens (10 minutes). For more of a challenge, it’s a half-hour drive to Bleaklow mountain; meanwhile, for a much easier ride, it’s 20 minutes to Kirklees Light Railway. And if your rural outing isn’t complete without some cute furry animals to coo over, you’ll need a trip to Cannon Hall Farm (10 minutes), which has an adventure playground and farm shop as well as lots of new farmyard friends to meet.
