About

Darton West is a residential ward situated on the northwestern outskirts of Barnsley. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from post-war estates to more modern developments, set within a landscape that gradually gives way to open countryside. Its layout is defined by several main roads connecting it to the town centre and neighbouring communities like Mapplewell and Staincross.

The local geography includes the underlying valley of the River Dearne, which lies to the south. A notable local feature is the Darton to Bretton Greenway, a traffic-free path for walking and cycling that follows the route of a former railway line through the ward, providing a direct recreational and commuter link into the surrounding South Yorkshire landscape.
