About

Edlington is a former mining village situated approximately four miles south of Doncaster town centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing and older terraced homes. It is bordered by open farmland and woodland, including the sizable Edlington Wood, which provides a significant green space on its western edge. The local economy revolves around a small high street offering essential services and several industrial estates on its periphery.

The community retains a strong sense of its industrial heritage. A notable local landmark is the Edlington War Memorial, centrally located near the main shops. The area is served by multiple primary schools and a secondary academy. While facing typical post-industrial challenges, the presence of the ancient woodland and ongoing regeneration projects are focal points for the area, which maintains its own distinct identity separate from the larger urban centre to the north.
