Hatfield

About

Hatfield ward lies in the northern part of the Doncaster borough, encompassing the town of Hatfield and its surrounding rural landscape. The area is characterised by a mix of residential development and open farmland, with the M18 motorway forming a significant transport route along its western edge. The community is served by local schools and amenities centred on the historic market town.

A notable aspect is the presence of Hatfield Moors, a large area of lowland raised peat bog forming part of the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve. This landscape influences the local environment and provides a distinct contrast to the more developed areas. The ward's geography includes drainage channels and is historically linked to the extraction of peat.
