Fishlake is a small village and civil parish in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, set beside the winding River Don and close to the low-lying wetlands of Hatfield Chase. Its landscape of reclaimed marsh and peat moor has shaped a chiefly agricultural economy and a history marked by drainage works from the 17th century and periodic flooding, most notably in recent years.
The village retains a strong sense of community centred on its medieval church, St Cuthbert's Church, local events and small-scale farming, while being within easy reach of larger services in Doncaster. Its name and setting hint at historic fishing and water-management traditions, giving Fishlake a quietly distinctive rural character amid wider industrial and transport links nearby.
