Barnsley Park is a country house and park, measuring about 3 miles (4.8 km) in circumference in Barnsley, Gloucestershire, England.[1] An Iron Age settlement was once situated within Barnsley Park, and upon the Roman invasion in 360, a Roman villa was built at the settlement.[2]

In 1693, the estate was inherited by Brereton Bourchier,[3] who in the early years of the following century built a Georgian style house with Italianate influences. The landscaped garden was laid out in the 18th century.[3] It was owned for a period by the Perrot family, and in 1819 it was owned by James Musgrave.[1] The Saloon of the house is noted for its striking frescoes. The estate has been subject to redevelopment, and lets out cottages.
