Havercroft with Cold Hiendley is a small, semi-rural civil parish in the Wakefield district of West Yorkshire, made up of the adjoining village and hamlet amid farmland and patches of former colliery land. It sits on the edge of the old Yorkshire coalfield near communities such as South Elmsall and Pontefract, giving it a mix of village tranquillity and easy access to larger towns.
The area has a strong local identity rooted in its 19th–20th century industrial past, and community life still centres on village halls, grassroots sports and a primary school, while many residents commute to nearby urban centres like Leeds and Doncaster. Green spaces, local clubs and occasional village events help maintain a close-knit feel despite wider economic changes since the decline of mining.
