Hatfield Woodhouse is a small village in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, sitting on the flat, low-lying plain of the old Hatfield Chase close to the River Don. The landscape reflects its history as reclaimed marshland - drainage works in the 17th century reshaped the area - so you get a patchwork of farmland, drainage ditches and long vistas rather than hilly countryside.
The village keeps a quietly rural character with traditional cottages and a parish church that hints at its long local history. Amenities are limited, so many residents travel into Doncaster or neighbouring villages for work and services, while walkers and anyone interested in historic land reclamation find the setting appealing; community life tends to revolve around the church, village hall and local gatherings.
