    By that map you are right and Hoylandswaine is about the highest, but I'm not sure why other parts of Barnsley (Penistone, Thurlstone, Langsett, Carlecotes, Dunford Bridge etc) are outside that map.

    461 m

    Above Harden reservoir (Snailsden) is 477m.

    Between the two is Upper Dead Edge at 499m (right on the boundry I believe;))

    Howden Edge is higher than both of those but never mind at least Sir Bob is back.

    I always thought it was that too, but it isn't, it's what Stahlrost said. South Nab is the highest point directly at the side of a road, but the boundary line carries on directly south from there and encompasses part of Howden Edge which peaks at over 500 metres.

    Royd Moor is 360m above sea level and is located within the Borough of Barnsley. Dunford Bridge/Winscar Reservoir/Fox House must be pushing 350m.

    Thats just this end of the Borough!

    Trouble with Howden Edge is that you've to walk miles to get to the highest point - and it's obviously uphill!

    Howden Edge is a peak which lies in the north east of the Upper Derwent Valley area of the Peak District National Park in England. At 545 m it is the second highest point in South Yorkshire, after Margery Hill
