Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, is a major transport and industrial centre for the north of England. Historically a big coal mining and manufacturing centre, today its fortunes are more closely tied to the transport and leisure industries.

A number of major companies have distribution centres around Doncaster and the town is home to one of the UK's oldest racecourse - with the newly refurbished facilities drawing many thousands of horse racing fans every year.

In addition, there are a number of other attractions for visitors to the area. These include the The Dome, which is home to a 7-pool water world, split-level ice rink and indoor climbing wall. For those looking for slightly less frenetic activities, Aeroventure is a local museum specialising in post-war aircraft and the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery has a wide range of exhibits.

Transport links are exceptionally good - with good rail and road connections to the north and south of England. Principal among these are the A1 and M18/M62 - giving access to the north, south and west of the country.
