Free 4-Hour Parking for Cannon Hall Country Estate & Gardens
Cannon Hall Country Park Car Park is a large surface-level facility serving Cannon Halls historic country house, gardens, museum, and surrounding woodlands in Cawthorne. Operated by Barnsley Council, the lot accommodates approximately 250 tarmac and gravel bays, including twelve accessible spaces near the main visitor center entrance. Operating daily from 7 am to 8 pm, parking is free for up to four hours; extended stays require a flat-rate fee paid via pay-and-display machines accepting coins, notes, and contactless payments. CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and main aisles during operating hours, and LED floodlighting ensures safe evening access for occasional twilight events. Pedestrian paths lead directly to the visitor center, café, gift shop, and formal rose gardens within a two-minute walk. Informational signboards at the entrance detail park history, trail maps, and event schedules. Local bus stops on Barnsley Road provide regular services to Barnsley town center and Penistone. EV charging is available via four rapid units adjacent to the visitor center to support sustainable travel. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to twenty bicycles are provided near the café entrance. Seasonal gravel grading, line repainting, and barrier maintenance keep the lot orderly and hazard-free.
