If it's the Harley between Chapeltown and Wentworth, they have an old fashioned people singing Xmas carols around a big public outdoor tree event each December, so I would guess that the place has a good sense of community.

It's very nice.

Has a countryside feel to it but is just up the hill from Chapeltown shopping centre.

Close enough for commuting to Rotherham, Sheffield and Barnsley.      M1 motorway  access near.

Garden centre up the hill in nearby Wentworth.

I live just over the hill in Birdwell.

Harley is a quiet well kept village (thanks to the locals who regularly litter pick and plant flowers).

In the older part of the village  car parking can be a bit of a challenge.

A decent pub and one shop are the total facilities.

Senior schools are a bus ride away and I believe the junior school is in Wentworth.

There is a village festival each year on the cricket field.

The ever popular (on this forum) Toby Foster  seems to like it.

The main road passing through from Wentworth is quite busy and is affected by excessive speeds.

A recent start up is  coffee mornings in the small church.

If you're looking for an area surrounded by countryside it's probably a  good place to look.
