Access is good with main roads, nearby Rail-links at Elsecar and Chapeltown and regular local bus services. Meadowhall shopping centre is within five minutes drive via the M1 south from junctions J35, J35a, or J36 at Birdwell!

Local facilities include a Post Office and General store, an Anglican Church and a pub - The Horse Shoe. Harley also has its own Sewage Farm and a public telephone box, and cutting edge traffic calming !
