The village is on the B6273 Wakefield Road, and approximately from Wakefield to the north-west and a similar distance from the towns of Pontefract and Castleford to the north. The M1 motorway is to the west, and the M62, to the north. A railway station at Fitzwilliam gives access to Wakefield, Leeds, Doncaster and Sheffield. == Landmarks == Kinsley Greyhound Stadium is at the centre of the village on Wakefield Road. To the south of the greyhound stadium and Hoyle Mill Road, is Hemsworth Water Park & Playworld, which has two lakes: the larger lake is used for pedalo rides and has sandy beaches; the smaller lake is in a more secluded area which attracts wildlife.
