Days out by Rail in Doncaster
Content
Known widely for its ties to the world of horse racing, Doncaster is the perfect choice for anyone with a strong interest in both history and horses, as the racecourse at Doncaster is one of the oldest in the world.
It’s not all equine-focused though - “Donny” as it’s known locally, is actually the birthplace of quite an unusual trio; Paddington Bear, the modern-flushing toilet, and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson!
Just a stone’s throw from Doncaster station you’ll find the perfect pitstop for a much-needed brew such as the Back in Time café or Dreambakes are both under a 10-minute walk, listed landmarks like the Mansion House that showcase the architecture of years-gone-by, or for those who prefer to immerse themselves in nature, animal experiences such as Reptile Rendezvous and Furry Friends can be reached in 7-minutes by foot.
