Hoylandswaine is a small village in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England, sitting on the rising countryside towards the Peak District. Its setting gives it a semi-rural feel with open moorland and lanes close by, and the village retains a mix of traditional stone cottages and later housing from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Historically the community has roots in agriculture with the wider area touched by nineteenth‑century industrial activity, and today it is a quiet, close‑knit place with local clubs and a village hall and amenities that reflect village life. Many residents commute to nearby centres such as Barnsley and Sheffield, but the village’s countryside location makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural atmosphere within reach of larger towns.
