About

Ackworth and Darrington lie within the Wakefield district of West Yorkshire. Ackworth's village centre is arranged around a green and a network of lanes lined with stone houses and cottages. The village has a number of listed buildings and a parish church that reflect development from the 18th century onwards. Ackworth School, a Quaker-founded boarding school established in 1779 by John Fothergill, occupies formal grounds on the village edge and is visible from several public footpaths.

Darrington is a neighbouring village and civil parish with a compact settlement pattern focused on a main street, community hall and parish facilities. The surrounding land is agricultural, crossed by public rights of way that link lanes, fields and hedgerows. Local amenities include a primary school, pubs and village clubs that organise markets and events through the year. Both places retain a rural character while functioning as residential centres within the Wakefield district today.
