Welcome to Wilthorpe

Wilthorpe is a small village located in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The village is situated on the outskirts of Barnsley and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Wilthorpe is a peaceful and quiet village, making it an ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The village has a population of around 2,000 people and is known for its friendly community.

Wilthorpe has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was once a thriving mining community, with several coal mines operating in the area. However, the decline of the mining industry in the 1980s led to the closure of the mines, and the village has since diversified its economy. Today, Wilthorpe is home to a range of businesses, including shops, restaurants, and pubs.

Despite its small size, Wilthorpe has plenty to offer visitors. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with several walking and cycling routes available for those who want to explore the area. The nearby Cannon Hall Farm is a popular attraction, offering visitors the chance to see a range of farm animals and enjoy a range of activities. Wilthorpe also has a range of community events throughout the year, including a summer fair and a Christmas market, which bring the community together and attract visitors from across the region.
