About

The Thorne area lies in the east of Doncaster, characterised by its flat, low-lying landscape shaped by the nearby River Don and extensive network of drainage channels. The settlement itself is a market town with a historic core centred around the Market Place and the 14th-century St. Nicholas' Church. Much of the surrounding land is given over to agricultural use and areas of peat moorland.

A significant portion of the area is occupied by Thorne Moors, one of the largest lowland raised peat bogs in Britain. This vast nature reserve, with its unique wetland habitats and rare wildlife, contrasts with the industrial legacy of the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, which runs to the north. The landscape is defined by this intersection of agriculture, conservation, and historical waterways.
