Simpson Park

Situated just three miles from junction 34 of the A1, 20 minutes’ drive from Doncaster and a little over half an hour from Sheffield, Harworth is linked with Worksop and Doncaster by buses that stop a few minutes’ walk from Simpson Park. The development is named in honour of one of the UK’s greatest ever cyclists, Tom Simpson, who was born in the town. His many achievements are marked by a memorial stone near the entrance to the development. Access to shops and services is outstanding. As well as a large Asda supermarket on the edge of the development, nearby Scrooby Road contains a post office, a family butcher, convenience and food stores, hairdressers, a choice of food takeaways and the local library. Further along, there is a large Aldi supermarket and a home and garden discount store. All of these are within half a mile of Simpson Park. The Blacksmith’s Arms pub in Main Street complements the wide choice of cafés, restaurants and pubs in easy reach in the many surrounding towns and villages. The Phoenix Theatre in Bawtry, two miles away, is the home of a local amateur dramatic society. It also hosts a film society and folk and blues evenings.
