Burghwallis is a small, rural village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, set among farmland and pockets of woodland. It retains a quiet, village character while functioning in part as a commuter settlement for nearby towns, and its lanes and hedgerows make it popular with local walkers.
The village has deep roots reaching back to the medieval period - the name suggests an early fortified site - and that history is reflected in a historic parish church and surviving manor-era buildings. A tight-knit community preserves local traditions and benefits from proximity to larger heritage attractions in the Doncaster area, as well as the broader industrial history of the surrounding coalfield landscape.
