Notton is a small village and civil parish in the City of Wakefield metropolitan district, situated in the semi-rural belt of West Yorkshire in England. It lies a short drive from the larger centres of Wakefield and Barnsley, with good road links that make it convenient for commuters heading to Wakefield, Leeds and Sheffield, while the surrounding landscape still shows farmland, hedgerows and pockets of former industrial terrain.
Historically a farming settlement that later felt the effects of 19th- and 20th-century coalfield development in the region, Notton today is largely residential with a quiet village atmosphere; local social life tends to revolve around community facilities and nearby services in the larger towns. Its combination of rural character, modest local amenities and proximity to urban centres is typical of many small communities in the West Yorkshire area.
