High Hoyland

It lies to the west of Kexbrough, and is located at approximately 53°35′10″N 1°35′30″W / 53.58611°N 1.59167°W / 53.58611; -1.59167, at an elevation of around 200 metres above sea level.[2] There is some evidence to suggest that High Hoyland has quite an ancient history, though no archaeological survey has yet taken place.Some people believe the village may have been the site of an Iron Age hill fort, and its strategic hilltop location would surely have been a good place for one.Today a bridleway runs along the ridge above the village; originally this was a trans-Pennine salt track, and was also mentioned in the Domesday survey.The Cherry Tree Public House is one of the most famous in South Yorkshire, and has won awards for both its ale and its views - with spectacular open vistas across the valley.
