Doncaster is a South Yorkshire city that is named after the River Don. The city is full of charm and interest in history, and it is regarded as a hidden gem in Yorkshire, with plenty of award winning attractions and over 2,000 years of tales to tell. Doncaster is perhaps most famous for its horse racing, and hosts one of the oldest and largest race courses in the UK, the Doncaster Racecourse. The industrial hinterland of Doncaster has been transformed in more recent years into a patchwork of luscious spaces, with plenty of parkland and large open spaces.
