Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

A small community green at Springvale on the eastern side of Penistone, with a refurbished play area, picnic space and a mown path round the grass. Barnsley Council upgraded it under its Love Where You Live programme along with the other Penistone ward greens. It is a five-minute circuit, useful because it sits between the Springvale housing and the Trans Pennine Trail, which you can join a few hundred yards south for the walk to Oxspring. It is a local green, not a country walk.

THE SMALL PRINTBarnsley Council's borough-wide dog fouling and control PSPO, in operation from 1 April 2025 for three years: remove your dog's faeces from any open-air land the public may use, produce the means of picking up when an authorised officer asks, and put the dog on a lead when an authorised officer directs. Dogs must not go into any fenced or enclosed children's play area signed as a dog exclusion area, which is the case here, and must be on a lead in every Barnsley cemetery. Fixed penalty £100 or a level 3 fine on conviction. Barnsley has no general lead requirement in parks.

Pub SOME LIMITS

Cubley Hall

S36 9DF
No reviews yet

A stone hall on Mortimer Road on the southern edge of Penistone, run as a free house with a restaurant in the old conservatory and a public bar at the main entrance. Its own site is specific about where the dog goes: the main entrance public bar, not the restaurant. There is a large car park and grounds, and it sits close to the Penistone end of the Trans Pennine Trail, so it works as the finish of a walk in from Oxspring. It also has bedrooms, but the site says nothing about dogs in them, so ring before you book.

Stay SOME LIMITS

Hartcliffe Retreat

S36 9FS
No reviews yet

A modern three-storey holiday house on Hartcliffe Hill Road on the moorland edge above Penistone, sleeping eight, with a log burner and a view down to Langsett Reservoir and the Peak District boundary. The road it sits on runs straight out onto Hartcliff Hill and the moorland tracks, and the Trans Pennine Trail through Penistone is about two miles down the hill. The owners' own website says the cottage is pet friendly and invites you to bring your dog along; it does not publish a dog charge or say which rooms are off limits, so confirm at booking.

Restaurant DOGS WELCOME

Holme Coffee House

S36 6BZ
No reviews yet

A coffee house at 22 Market Street in the centre of Penistone, the second shop of a Holmfirth business, open nine to four every day for breakfast, brunch, buddha bowls and locally roasted coffee. It is a proper sit-down room with table service rather than a takeaway counter, and it is a couple of hundred yards from the Trans Pennine Trail car park behind the market. Their own website says they love pooches and even keep a dog menu for them to sample, so a dog gets fed as well as watered here.
