What is nearby, in Austerfield, Bawtry and Doncaster.
Bawtry
A handsome Georgian market town, and a genuine destination in its own right. Independent shops, well regarded restaurants and old coaching inns line the market place, with a GP and a Sainsbury's for the everyday. For many owners it is half the reason they chose this corner of South Yorkshire.
Austerfield and the Mayflower
There is real history under your feet. Austerfield is the birthplace of William Bradford, born here in 1590, who sailed on the Mayflower and went on to govern the Plymouth Colony in America. The church where he was baptised still stands, and the village sits on the Mayflower pilgrim trail.
Bawtry Golf Club
An eighteen hole parkland course is quite literally next door, on Cross Lane. Handy if a round is your thing, and a green outlook even if it is not.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park
One of the country's finest wildlife parks, home to polar bears, lions and giraffes, ten to fifteen minutes away at Branton. A ready made day out when the family or the grandchildren come to stay.
Doncaster Racecourse
Home of the St Leger, the oldest of the five classic horse races. Racing, events and live music through the year, fifteen to twenty minutes from your door.
