About

Edenthorpe is a suburb and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, lying about three miles east of Doncaster town centre. The area is largely residential with a mix of housing from different periods, local shops, a primary school and community facilities clustered near St Peter’s church and the village green. The River Don shapes parts of the local landscape and the railway corridor runs close to the north edge of the settlement, influencing street patterns and the location of footpaths used by commuters and walkers.

Mere Lane is a local route through the southern part of Edenthorpe, linking housing streets with allotments and playing fields. Short walks from the lane reach riverside paths and a sequence of drainage channels that collect run-off from the low-lying land; these channels are crossed by small footbridges that residents use to move between green spaces. Regular bus services connect the area with Doncaster and neighbouring suburbs, while sports pitches and a community centre provide meeting space for local clubs and events.
