Silkstone Common is a small village in Barnsley. The railway station is looked after by Silkstone Care Group who tend the fantastic gardens and station planters creating a welcoming environment. The Station Inn is a real ale serving pub situated next to the station platform, and now has covered outdoor seating, great if you are waiting for the train in the afternoon or evening. A 20-minute walk away is Pothouse Hamlet and Riley’s at the Potting Shed.
