Unknown pleasures of visiting Doncaster
If you haven’t visited Doncaster before all I can say is where have you been?! Below we will go through a few reasons why you should visit ‘Donny’
Well known for its rural charm as well as its cool modern edge, the town of Doncaster has it all. The busy and vibrant town centre is surrounded by quaint villages and thriving market towns.
The most famous attraction for Doncaster (especially in the sporting world) is the world class Doncaster Racecourse, where the most popular race is the much celebrated St Leger Festival and the atmosphere & excitement is tough to beat!
Shopping addicts will find the Lakeside village within close proximity which offers some of the finest shops and prices in the region. The Doncaster market has well over 500 stalls offering luxury organic and locally produced food and drink. For the more typical high street retail outlets and designer stores look no further than Frenchgate Centre.
Cultured people will enjoy the Brodworth Hall and Gardens, Cusworth Hall and Conibrough Castle. The St Georges Church is one of the first things that you will see when entering Doncaster, majestically overlooking the rest of the town. Another great piece of architecture is The Mansion House and has the proud accolade of belonging to a rare set of three in England.
A person visiting Doncaster for the first time will be shocked to find the amount of nature reserves, parks and woodlands surrounding the area. This shouldn’t be as much of a surprise considering that the borough of Doncaster covers a huge 226 sq miles!
