Conisbrough is an electoral ward in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England, centred on the small town by the River Don. It is best known for the striking Norman keep of Conisbrough Castle, a 12th‑century landmark that dominates the skyline; the ward also sits in a former coal‑mining area, giving it a mix of suburban housing and pockets of post‑industrial landscape and heritage.
Local life blends heritage and community activity, with volunteers and local groups involved in conservation and events, while residents commonly commute to Doncaster or Sheffield thanks to good road and rail links. The area retains a strong local identity shaped by its medieval and industrial past, complemented by independent shops, community organisations and riverside green space.
