This former mining village is located just two miles from Doncaster, along the River Don and close to the small hamlet of Toll Bar. A local high street is within walking distance and offers a range of everyday services, including convenience shops, a GP surgery, a pet store, hairdressers, cafés, and take‑away food options.
The area has strong transport links, with regular bus services to Doncaster, Selby, and nearby towns. Bentley railway station is also close by, with trains running north to Wakefield Westgate and Leeds, and south to Doncaster. From Doncaster, Meadowhall, Sheffield, and Rotherham Central are easy to reach.
Acacia Court is a quiet and friendly housing scheme made up of 20 one‑bedroom and 4 two‑bedroom bungalows, built nearly 30 years ago. The homes are surrounded by well‑kept communal gardens, offering privacy through hedges and green spaces. Many residents personalise their own back gardens with furniture, sheds, or greenhouses, adding colour and character to the community.
