Wentworth Woodhouse (near Rotherham) is one of the grandest stately homes in the country with a suite of State Rooms containing a large art collection, all set in an extensive garden and parkland. It is operated by its own Preservation Trust which runs facilities for visitors including a café. The site is generally accessible for those with limited mobility. The church of St Mary & St Martin, Blyth is the remaining part of a mediaeval Benedictine Priory and is particularly noted for a mural of the Last Judgement.

Adult (17+) admission to the house & garden is £16.50. Entry is free to Historic Houses members, there is a 25% reduction for National Trust members and a 50% reduction for Art Fund members.
