About

Dodworth ward lies on the western edge of Barnsley, characterised by a mix of residential neighbourhoods and open green spaces. The area includes the main village of Dodworth itself, alongside several smaller settlements and estates, creating a varied landscape of housing. Large areas of farmland and woodland border the community, providing a rural boundary. The ward's layout reflects its historical development from a mining and industrial past into a primarily residential district.

The ward is defined by its elevated position, offering views across the surrounding borough. A notable local feature is the Dodworth Miners' Welfare Park and Bandstand, a central community hub with a long-standing musical tradition. The Trans Pennine Trail passes through the area, utilising former railway lines for walking and cycling routes. This network connects to local woodlands and the broader countryside, integrating outdoor recreation directly into the ward's geography.
