Dog-friendly Farnley Tyas and around

A village inn at 33 Wellthorne Lane, reopened in October 2021 after a thorough refurbishment, a short walk above Ingbirchworth Reservoir and its circular path north west of Penistone. The inside is split into separate drinking and dining spaces and there is a sheltered patio served by its own kiosk hatch, which is the sensible place to sit if the dog is wet from the reservoir circuit. There are letting rooms and a car park. CAMRA's Barnsley branch surveyors list the pub as dog friendly and record that it has accommodation, but say nothing about whether dogs are allowed in the rooms.

A fourth-generation family farm on High Lane at Ingbirchworth running a caravan and camping site that has been going since 1980, with a large hook-up field and a smaller enclosed paddock for family groups. Its own site states plainly that it is a dog friendly site, with parking on the pitch, a toilet and shower block, washing up facilities and disabled access. It opens from April to October only, weather depending, and everything is booked online. Ingbirchworth and Royd Moor reservoirs are both within a mile, and the Fountain Inn is in the village.

A stone farmhouse converted into a single self-catering let on Manchester Road at Millhouse Green, two miles up the valley from Penistone, with open-beamed living space and a garden. The Trans Pennine Trail runs along the old Woodhead railway just below the village, and Langsett Reservoir and its woods are a short drive west, so a dog can be walked off the doorstep without touching a main road. The owners' own website says up to two well behaved dogs are welcome and names the Trans Pennine Trail and Langsett as the walks on hand. No dog charge is published and no restriction on which rooms dogs may use.

Four barn-conversion self-catering cottages on a working farm above Millhouse Green, two miles west of Penistone, sleeping between two and seven each and nineteen in total if you take the lot. They overlook the Trans Pennine Trail, which you can join on foot from the farm for the six miles up to Dunford Bridge or five miles down to Wortley. The owners publish a full written dog policy rather than a one-line claim, which is worth reading before you book because the conditions are specific. There is a large lawned garden, but it is not enclosed.

A stone free house at 136 Manchester Road on the old turnpike above Thurlstone, a regular in the Good Beer Guide with eight real ales and a real fire, and the last decent pint before the moor road climbs to Dunford Bridge. It is a quiet, conversational pub with a garden and no music machine, which suits a dog that has just done ten miles of the Trans Pennine Trail. Food is Thai on Thursday to Saturday evenings plus Sunday roasts, with pork pies and scotch eggs over the bar the rest of the time. The CAMRA branch entry states outright that dogs with well behaved owners are especially welcome; the pub publishes no written policy of its own.

A large stone pub on Towngate along the back road through Thurlstone, a mile west of Penistone and a natural turning point for anyone walking the Trans Pennine Trail out towards Dunford Bridge. Kibble Brewery has worked out of the former stable block in the car park since 2021, so the beer is brewed on site. There is a real fire, a pool table and a garden, and the car park means you can arrive muddy without walking through town first. CAMRA's Barnsley branch surveyors list it as dog friendly; the pub publishes no policy of its own.

Three barn-conversion cottages on a working hill farm at 1,250 feet on Windleden Lane, between Winscar Reservoir and the Windleden reservoirs above Dunford Bridge, converted in 2020. Two of the three take dogs and the terms are published in detail rather than left vague, which is unusual and worth having. The Trans Pennine Trail at Dunford Bridge is under two miles away and Langsett is a short drive east. Being this high, the weather is the main variable.

A cafe built specifically for dogs on the outskirts of Cannon Hall Farm at Cawthorne, sitting outside the paid farm attraction so you do not need a ticket to use it. Its own page is unambiguous: dogs are welcome inside and there are treats for them. It is the obvious stop after a circuit of Cannon Hall parkland, which is on the other side of Bark House Lane, and it does breakfast and brunch rather than only cake. Note the distinction that matters here: the farm attraction itself takes no dogs at all, only assistance dogs, so this cafe is the whole of the dog offer on the site.

A cafe built specifically for dog walkers on the edge of Cannon Hall Farm at Cawthorne, sitting outside the farm's paying compound so you can use it without buying farm admission. Dogs are welcome inside, not just at outdoor tables, and there is a separate menu of treats for them; the room seats over 150 after its extension, which is unusual for a dog-friendly cafe of any kind. It opens at 9am daily, serving hot food and drink until 4.30pm, and runs a Wednesday Walkies loyalty group that meets from 9am to 11am for ten per cent off. The Cannon Hall parkland walk starts a few minutes away down Bark House Lane.
