About

Rossington lies on the eastern edge of Doncaster, bordered by open countryside and the M18 motorway. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of post-war housing estates and older terraced homes centred around a traditional main street. Its landscape is marked by its historical connection to coal mining, with former colliery sites now largely reclaimed as green space, subtly shaping the local topography and community identity.

A notable local landmark is the striking, modern St Michael's Church, built in the 1990s to replace an older structure. The area includes several primary schools and local shops catering to daily needs. Rossington is also home to a large plantation woodland, providing a significant area for walking and recreation directly within the community's boundaries, contrasting with the surrounding agricultural land.
