The Intake area of Doncaster lies directly south of the town centre, forming a primarily residential suburb.

The Doncaster Royal Infirmary, a major district hospital, is situated on the western edge of the area. Intake is also served by its own railway station on the Sheffield to Doncaster line, offering direct commuter links. The overall character is one of a practical, established urban neighbourhood.
