Thurgoland is a small village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, in South Yorkshire, England, sitting on the western fringe of the Pennines and within easy reach of the Peak District. Its setting of rolling farmland and stone-built housing gives it a semi-rural character while still being close enough to larger towns and cities for commuting.
Historically the village grew from farming and small-scale local industry, and today it has a close-knit community with a village hall, local amenities and walking routes that attract outdoor visitors. The local economy is a mix of agriculture, small businesses and commuters who work in nearby centres such as Barnsley and Sheffield, leaving the place with a quietly residential, village atmosphere.
