BLACKER HILL

Local area

Pennine View is situated in the Blacker Hill community of Barnsley. This up and coming area over the last five years has been regenerated with various executive housing developments. This once little mining village is now a sought after area. Blacker Hill also has enjoys the facilities of an offsted registered nursery. It is within easy access of the neighbouring village of Hoyland, with an array of shops, a large selection of schools/nurseries, post office and well equipped leisure centre.

 

At the next village of Elsecar, you can find the Elsecar heritage centre, a classic piece of Elsecars history showing how the earl Fitzwilliam influenced the way the residents in the village live their lives today, it  features the Elsecar steam railway exhibition plus a range of shops and crafts.

Elsecar also boasts a children’s play park with a nine hole pitch and putt golf course.

Next to the park is the Elsecar reservoir, which was originally built to serve the dearne and dove canal. 

Pennine View is also located close to the national lottery “amazing space” award winning Trans Pennine Trail, fantastic for walking/cycling/horse riding. 

Pennine View is ideally located for commuters; this is due to its location only minutes from the M1 junction 36, dearne valley park way and A1. They all serve neighbouring towns and cities of Sheffield, Wakefield, Doncaster, Leeds, and Manchester.
