Barnsdale, or Barnsdale Forest, is a relatively small area of South Yorkshire, England which has a rich history. The region is steeped in folklore. Barnsdale is historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Barnsdale lies in the immediate vicinity north and north-west of Doncaster, and which was formerly forested and a place of royal hunts, and also renowned as a haunt of the outlaw Robin Hood in early ballads.
Barnsdale historically falls within the West Riding of Yorkshire within Yorkshire. The villages within Barnsdale are today part of the local government administration area South Yorkshire, the southern villages are more specifically now part of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, but the villages and hamlets of northern Barnsdale fall within the City of Wakefield metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire.
The small South Yorkshire village of Hampole is generally considered to lie within the dead centre of what was once the Barnsdale Forest area 53°35′10.0″N 1°14′0.00″W / 53.58611°N 1.23333°W / 53.58611; -1.23333.
