  • 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?)

Quiet rural farm site, spacious pitches, friendly owners. Lovely farm animals & hot tubs. Generally clean facilities, though basic. Good for walks. Some road noise.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Brilliant Peaceful site, Great facilities, Freshly laid eggs available to buy, sloped site but with lots of flat grass pitches. The Staff are very welcoming, This was my 4th visit and it's a farm that I Love. Broad close farm has everything needed to escape into the countryside.
The Train station is a short walk and bus stops very close by. Supermarket just down the road and a pub just up the road. Lots of Animals to see, Thank you everyone for keeping the place as good as it is.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Field so sloping so not suitable for tent or campers. Showers dated. Rubbish all over the field

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are sorry you didn't find your stay met your expectations, we have level pitches terraced in around the field if you choose the correct spaces, in between they are sloping. Sadly during your stay we had travellers come on uninvited and refused to leave, they did leave a lot of mess and caused us a lot of problems including a large bill to pay bailiffs to remove them. This isn't the usual situation but unfortunately was out of our control in this instance.
We have since put a coded gate on the site to prevent it happening again.

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.
