Doncaster, Metropolitan city in South Yorkshire, England
Doncaster spreads across the Don Valley, between the western edge of the Humberhead Levels and the eastern side of the Pennines mountain range.
The settlement started as a Roman fort named Danum in the first century, functioning as a strategic post on the route between Lincoln and York.
The St Leger Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse stands as the world's oldest established classic horse race, drawing thousands of spectators annually.
The city connects to major destinations through its position on the East Coast Main Line railway and proximity to the A1(M) motorway network.
Doncaster received its city status in 2022 during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, with King Charles III personally attending the conferment ceremony.
