Hull to Stevenage to London
As 16th largest population centre in the UK, the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster has frequently applied for city status, but has yet to be granted the title. It is approximately 20 miles from Sheffield.
Doncaster boasts a new international airport, Robin Hood Airport, and the centre is undergoing massive regeneration including the development of an Education City campus, the largest education investment of its kind in the UK.
Over 70% of the borough of Doncaster is rural and has a tremendous array of historic homes, parks, woodlands, wetlands and nature reserves. Brodsworth Hall and Cusworth Hall (recently beautifully restored) are both stunning and fascinating stately homes nestled within superb award winning landscaped gardens. Explore the Don Gorge and the nearby Conisbrough Castle, which featured in Sir Walter Scott's novel Ivanhoe, cycle or walk the riverside paths from Sprotbrough Lock; close by is Sprotbrough Flash nature reserve, which along with Denaby Ings, Thorpe Marsh and Potteric Carr, is owned by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
