Firbeck is a small, rural civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and parkland with a scattering of lanes, cottages and smallholdings rather than any large urban centre, giving it a quiet, village‑scale feel and a low population compared with the surrounding towns.
The area is best known for the historic estate centred on Firbeck Hall and the surrounding park, and agriculture remains an important part of the local economy. Social life is typical of a small English village, with a focus on the church, village hall and occasional local events; the landscape and woodland around the parish also attract walkers and wildlife enthusiasts from nearby communities.
