The county borders Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. The metropolitan county lies largely on the carboniferous rocks of the Yorkshire coalfield which have produced a rolling landscape with hills, escarpments and broad valleys. In this landscape there is widespread evidence of both current and former industrial activity. There are numerous mine buildings, former spoil heaps and iron and steel plants. The scenery is a mixture of built up areas, industrial land with some dereliction, and farmed open country. Ribbon developments along transport routes including canal, road and rail are prominent features of the area although some remnants of the pre industrial landscape and semi-natural vegetation still survive.
Major rivers which cross the area are the Dearne, Rother and Don. To the east, in the Doncaster area the landscape becomes flatter as the eastward dipping carboniferous rocks of the coalfield are overlain by the lacustrine deposits of the Humberhead Levels. There is very little evidence of glaciation in the area as it lies largely beyond the limit of the last glaciation.

The River Dearne is a river in South Yorkshire, England. It flows roughly east for more than thirty kilometres, from its source just inside West Yorkshire, through Denby Dale, Clayton West, Darton, Barnsley, Darfield, Wath upon Dearne and Bolton on Dearne, to its confluence with the River Don at Conisbrough. The upper Dearne is followed by the Dearne Way, a footpath through the countryside from Dearne Head to Barnsley. The lower Dearne Valley is confusingly now also called Dearne Valley and is a regeneration area. Attractions along the Dearne include the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at Bretton Hall, and Monk Bretton Priory. The main tributary of the River Dearne is the River Dove.
The English country house is generally accepted
as a large house or mansion, once in the ownership of an individual who also usually
owned another great house in town allowing one to spend time in the country and
in the city. Country houses and stately homes are sometimes confused—while
a country house is always in the country, a stately home can also be in a town.
During the 18th and 19th centuries to the highest echelons of British society
the country house served as a place for relaxing, hunting and running the country
with one's equals at the end of the week, with some houses having their own theatre
where performances were held. However, there were many Squires who lived permanently
on their country estates, seldom visiting London at all. The country house was
the centre of its own world, providing employment to literally hundreds of people
in the vicinity of its estate. In previous eras when state benefits were unheard
of, those working on an estate were among the most fortunate, receiving secured
employment and rent-free accommodation. At the summit of these fortunate people
was the indoor staff of the country house.
