Nothern College at Wentworth Castle, Barnsley
I have added this grade I listed building to our accommodation list for our Dry Stone Walling Courses at Silkstone Common. We used this venue for the AGM of the Dry Stone Walling Association and it was fantastic! The staff were brilliant, the location superb (just off jun 37 of the M1) and all set in a British stately home. It's great to have your breakfast in an ornate hall with lovely paintings on the ceiling, and then to look out of the windows of this great house and see the rolling landscaped parkland designed and built by the Fitzwilliam family over two hundred years.
Wentworth Castle is 5 minutes by car from our Dry Stone Walling venue at Nabs Wood Silkstone Common so it couldn't be any better placed.
The gardens are beautiful too. I thoroughly recommend a visit when the rhododendrons and azalea are in flower. Stunning is an understatement!
The accommodation is administered by the Northern College and presently costs £21.50 per person per night for B&B. Mary and her staff leave no stone unturned to make your stay a memorable one.
To book this accommodation call Mary Wilby on 01226 776015 or email her at m.wilby@northern.ac.uk. All details are on our web site.
