Todwick is a village in South Yorkshire, containing a primary school (junior and infants) and a nursery, "Todwick Early Years". Todwick also is home to one pub, The Red Lion, and a church. There is a village hall adjacent to the primary school, and this is on the corner of Kiveton Lane/The Pastures. The pastures has the only shops in the village on it; the Post Office, Carol Aston Carpets, Cyprus Garden, a pizza house and a hairdressers.

The main street in Todwick is Kiveton Lane, which runs through the heart of the village connecting it at one end to the A57, towards Dinnington, Anston, Thurcroft etc., and at the other end to Station Road in Kiveton Park. Todwick can only be accessed by road or footpath; there is no railway station. It's location near to the M1 motorway gives the village's inhabitants good access to the country, which has meant that local towns provide many job opportunities for Todwick's working population.

Todwick has two parks; the smallest is alongside the church graveyard on Lindleys Croft, and has had in previous years, swings, a roundabout, climbing frame and more. The other park is known as "the Rec" to locals. It has 2 football fields on it, as well as slides and roundabouts at the village end, and a bowling green and cricket field at the far end. The village's annual bonfire on Guy Fawkes Night is held here, where many locals gather for hot dogs, toffee apples, sparklers and fireworks.
