Things to Do in Doncaster
Doncaster has one of the oldest classic horse races in the world, a Norman castle and two grand houses within a short drive. Here is how to spend a day.
Doncaster Racecourse
Doncaster Racecourse, on the Town Moor east of the centre, is home to the St Leger, the oldest of the five British classic races, run every September since the eighteenth century. Meetings run through much of the year.
