The parish is centred on Dunford Bridge to the west and Lower Cumberworth to the east with Crow Edge virtually central between them.

There are several important water sources, such as the Broadstone, Dunford Bridge, Harden, Ingbirchworth, Royd Moor, Scout Dyke, Snailsden and the Upper and Lower Windleden Reservoirs in the parish that are sourced from the surrounding moorland by Yorkshire Water. ==History== The parish was formed in 1938 from parts of the urban districts of Holme, Newmill (Fulstone Hepworth, Scholes) and Thurlstone. Before the Local Government Act 1972, when South Yorkshire was formed, the parish was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. At the time of the 2001 census it had a population of 627.〔(Census 2001 )〕 Although the parish is within South Yorkshire some members of the parish council and the clerk to the council are residents of the adjoining parish of Holmfirth in West Yorkshire.〔(Dunford Parish Council )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dunford, South Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
