Wentworth Castle Gardens

National Trust gardens and parkland at Stainborough on the western edge of Barnsley, with a Georgian mansion, a serpentine walk and a sham castle on the hill above. The Trust allows dogs on fixed short leads through the whole of the gardens and parkland and specifically bans extendable leads, which is worth knowing before you set off. There is a dog-friendly section inside the Long Barn Cafe as well as outdoor seating, water bowls at visitor reception, the Long Barn and outside the conservatory, and a set of dog agility equipment on the play field. Waste bags and short leads are handed out free at reception if you have forgotten yours.
