Summary
The Doncastrian Way is a 33-mile circular walk around the outskirts of Doncaster, following a route towards Barnby Dun and Dunsville, returning through Sprotbrough and along the River Don. The walk goes through many different areas of the Doncaster Borough, from urban fringes to open fields and attractive woodlands, and from riverbanks to green lanes. The route, which follows public rights of way with short sections on roads, was devised by Pat White of the Doncaster Wayfarers in the early 1970s.
