Why choose a Doncaster weekend break or staycation?
Doncaster is a major market town in South Yorkshire, and while it might get overshadowed by nearby cities such as Sheffield, it's something of a hidden gem.
Doncaster has a long and fascinating history, which is thought to start with a Roman settlement. Archaeology has shown that the city was built up during medieval times, and Conisborough Castle was constructed after the Norman Conquest. You can visit the magnificent fortress, which is now an English Heritage site. It's been standing since the 12th century and the keep is one of the area's most striking landmarks.
While you're in a historical mood, head to the beautiful Brodsworth Hall and Gardens. This open home offers the opportunity to marvel at the Victorian living standards and a host of opulent treasures and relics. Wander around the grand kitchen and scullery, and feel like you've stepped back in time. The gardens are stunning, with colourful floral displays and impressive statues. There's also a lovely tearoom to enjoy a well-earned cuppa.
For a spot of culture, make sure you visit Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery. If you want to learn more about Doncaster's past, including seeing genuine artefacts and relics from years gone by, then this is the place to be. The art gallery is lovely to stroll around and features artwork from across the centuries.
If you're travelling with the kids, there is lots to do to keep them entertained. Yorkshire Wildlife Park is set on 70 acres of land with a safari village and a wide variety of animals to meet. Get up close and personal with polar bears, leopards, meerkats, black rhinos, and lots more. For more animal fun, head to Boston Park Farm and meet the farmyard critters. You can pet and feed them, and take on the brilliant maize maze.
Doncaster is home to one of the world's oldest racing festivals, the St. Leger. The festival started in 1776 and draws in tourists from across the globe. Whether you're a horse racing fan or just fancy an epic day out, a trip to the races is a must.
If you want to escape the city for the day and immerse yourself in the spectacular countryside, Doncaster has three National Parks right on its doorstep, and the coastline, complete with beaches, coves, and seaside resorts, is just a short drive away.
Whatever floats your boat, you're sure to have a fun and exciting break in Doncaster, whatever the occasion.
