Hoyland Common

Hoyland Common is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, situated approximately 5 miles south of Barnsley town centre. The village developed in the context of the South Yorkshire coalfield and is part of the broader Hoyland urban area, which includes Hoyland Nether and Elsecar.

Hoyland Common is served by local amenities and is connected to the road network of South Yorkshire.
