Cawthorne is a small rural village in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, in England, set in attractive rolling countryside on the edge of the Pennines. It has a compact, stone-built character with a conservation feel, popular with walkers and day-trippers yet within commuting distance of Sheffield and Leeds, so it combines village calm with good regional links.
The village is best known for Cannon Hall and its estate, an 18th-century country house now run as a museum with gardens and a busy working visitor farm, and for the historic St Nicholas Church and village centre. Local life is shaped by its agricultural roots and a modest visitor economy, with community events and footpaths drawing people to the woods, parkland and heritage on the estate.
