By Rail
The nearest small railway station is DARTON 1.5 miles away. Darton station
is on the branch line between Sheffield - Leeds and Sheffield - Huddersfield.
The station is unmanned, there are no taxi's. You will probably be the
only person at this very remote and lonely station. If you are planning
to arrive at Darton station telephone us ahead of your arrival so that
we can meet you from the train.
Be advised that many trains do not stop at Darton.
BARNSLEY station is 3 miles away and is on the branch line between Sheffield
- Leeds. This Station has taxi's and busses to Mapplewell. Occasional
Intercity trains travel to Barnsley from St.Pancras.
The quickest route to Mapplewell from London is from KINGS CROSS station
to WAKEFIELD WESTGATE on the East Coast main line. Wakefield is a small
but busy intercity station with taxi's. It is 7 miles away from Mapplewell
and believe it or not the taxi driver may never have heard of Mapplewell.
This is because Wakefield is in West Yorkshire and we are in South Yorkshire
just over the border.
Tell him to drive towards Barnsley on the Barnsley Road A61 and turn
right at the Turnpike Garage next to the Golf Course. Over the top of
the hill to the crossroads at the bottom of the hill and turn right.
We are 100 yards on the left.
Give us a telephone call and we'll meet you at the Station by car.
DONCASTER station is 15 miles away. A taxi from Doncaster will be expensive
so telephone us and we'll meet you at the station.
