I recently wrote a review on the Wentworth-Woodhouse Estate, one of the finest examples of a Grand Country House and Estate in Northern England.
Situated in South Yorkshire about 4 miles North of Rotherham this Estate covers 600 acres and was once the home to one of the richest men in England, the 2nd Marquis of Rockingham, who was twice Prime Minister of England in the latter part of the 1700's.
The Grounds to the vast Wentworth Estate contains many attractions. Amongst these are four different structures known as the Wentworth Follies. Each of these monuments which are associated with the 2nd Marquis and his Father, the 1st Marquis of Rockingham, formerly the Earl of Malton were built between 1748 and 1785 have a unique design and structure.
Curiously if you look at the doorways to the first three structures in chronological ...
Advantages: Cracking food and a good price - for a pub! Disadvantages: A bit small for buggies, awkward downstairs toilet access.
stairs and although I can't speak for the gents I imagine they'd be the same as the ladies so please, watch your head as the ceiling is so low in the toilet cubicles that if you happen to be 5ft 6" (like me) and get up too fast, you could end up concussing yourself on the arched ceiling. Having said that, the two cubicles themselves are always spotlessly clean, the basin has L'Occitaine handwash and hand cream and they also have one of those rather zippy Dyson Blade hand dryers plus a fair sized mirror for general hair and facial faffage.
~Recommended?~
If you are in the neighbourhood then yes, although there are lots of eateries in SJW if you can get into The Duke then I'd say go there. Its food that feeds you and not just food that fills you up.
