Braithwell is a small village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, set in gently rolling agricultural land on the edge of the South Yorkshire countryside. It functions largely as a rural residential community with many people commuting into nearby towns and cities for work while retaining a quiet village atmosphere.
The settlement has a historic core with a medieval church and an attractive village green featuring a stone cross and traditional stocks, reflecting its long history - historically it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Today Braithwell keeps a close‑knit community feel, with local activities and a mix of farming alongside residents who work in surrounding urban centres, giving it a quietly rural but well‑connected character.
