Great pub food and Bed and Breakfast at the Blacksmiths Arms Millhouse Green near Penistone South Yorkshire

Local Info

Millhouse Green is a small village right on the edge of the Peak District National Park, five minutes drive from Langsett. Surrounded by rolling pastures and high moors, the Blacksmiths Arms is just a few minutes walk/cycle from the Trans Pennine Trail.

The wind farm at Royd Moor is an impressive sight, as are the vistas from the viewing platform at Royd Moor, both a short walk from the Blacksmiths. This makes a great starting point for some wonderful rambling or cycling. Also there are several reservoirs nearby – ideal for bird watching and fishing fans.

Millhouse Green is two miles west of Penistone, a thriving small market town on the Sheffield to Manchester train line. Penistone Paramount is ever popular, with regular Compton organ events, live music and theatre events and a traditional cinema. Also a 10 minute drive away is Holmfirth, a great place to visit and on the route of the Tour de France, which passed very close by indeed in July 2014 (see Yorkshire.com promotional video for the Tour de France Yorkshire below). We welcome cyclists who may wish to come to try out part of the route for themselves.

For music fans, Holmfirth also boasts one of the north of England’s finest intimate music venues in the Holmfirth Picturedrome.
