Flying to Wortley, near Sheffield

[lacmag3]

What is the most convenient airport for Wortley, near Sheffield?

[Buenchico]

The nearest airport is Robin Hood Airport (33 miles away), which serves Doncaster and Sheffield. However whether or not it is convenient for you would depend upon where you were travelling from. The only UK airports served from Robin Hood are Belfast and Jersey. (Yes, I know that Jersey isn't actually in the UK. I'm bending my definitions slightly!). For those flights check the FlyBe website.

If you're travelling from another country, select the relevant country here to see if there are suitable flights:

Leeds/Bradford Airport is 38 miles away. A list of airports with direct services to Leeds/Bradford is here:

Manchester Airport is 40 miles away. Use the 'Filter by Country' option, at the top of the map here to see which airports have direct flights to Manchester:

Whichever airport you landed at, the final stage of your journey would be a No 29 bus from Sheffield:

From Leeds/Bradford take a 757 bus into Leeds and then a train to Sheffield. From Manchester Airport take a direct train to Sheffield Interchange.

It never ceases to amaze me how much effort some people go to on Answebank to help others. Thanks Buenchico for such a comprehensive answer. I am travelling from Belfast but may choose Manchester over Doncaster as it seems simpler (and is slightly cheaper) to fly to Manchester and take the train to Sheffield.

Thanks for your reply, Lacmag3.

I notice, however, that my reply would have been rather better if I'd included all of the correct links! The one for the Sheffield-Wortley bus timetable should have been this:

You'll see that the buses generally only run every two hours. If there's not one to fit in with your train schedule you might like to consider booking your rail travel through to Chapeltown (which is just down the road from Wortley) and then taking a cab from there. (Call 0114 275 7575 for the excellent DB Radio Cars). Alternatively there are plenty of buses to Chapeltown (and to Stocksbridge, which is also close to Wortley).
