It is situated approximately 2 miles north-west of the city centre on the A635 road to Barnsley close to its terminus with the A638.

Sunnyfields, Scawthorpe, Bentley, Cusworth, Marr and Little Canada (clockwise from the north) are neighbouring settlements.

Therefore, it has no official boundaries, but is generally considered to be separated from Sunnyfields by the Roman Ridge to the north, and is interwoven with Cusworth to the south.

Listed buildings in the village include 17th century Scawsby Hall[1] and a Tudor cottage.

Heart, Capital and Greatest Hits Radio networked stations also cover the area.
