Brinsworth is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, England. It is situated close to the River Rother between Rotherham (to the north-east) and Sheffield (to the south-west). At the time of the 2001 census it had a population of 8,950, reducing to 8,789 at the 2011 Census.[1]
Brinsworth became a new separate ward in May 2021 which covers the whole village beyond the parish boundary. This change is to accommodate an expanding neighbouring ward of Rother Vale - that includes a new mainly private housing estate of Waverley which has around 3,800 homes with its own school and lake frontage.
From Brinsworth people can now walk alongside the lakes at Waverley to Rother Valley Country Park, Gulliver's Valley theme park resort[2] and the new Waleswood Caravan and Camping park.[3]
