Penistone – With its excellent, and extremely busy, Thursday market is well worth a visit. There are numerous shops, banks, a post office, library (with loads of ‘what’s on and where’ info.) and the Vicarage Tea Rooms, for a well earned cuppa.

Then if you’re too tired to walk back, catch a bus – there’s a stop right outside the caravan site gates! http://www.visitpenistone.co.uk
