About

Anston & Woodsetts is a largely rural ward situated in the eastern part of the Rotherham borough. It encompasses the villages of North Anston, South Anston, and Woodsetts, set within a landscape of agricultural fields and woodland. The area is primarily residential, with local services centered around the villages' main streets. The topography is gently rolling, with the Chesterfield Canal tracing a route through the northern section of the ward near Kiveton Park.

A significant geological feature is the Anston Stones Wood, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. This ancient woodland is known for its impressive limestone outcrops and gorges. The area's history is reflected in the 12th-century St. James' Church in Woodsetts and the remains of Anston Stones Hall. Economic activity is mixed, with some light industry near the M1 motorway corridor, but the overall character is defined by its separate village communities and surrounding green belt land.
