Hickleton is a small village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire. Set amid rolling agricultural land a few miles west of the town, it remains a quiet, rural community with many residents commuting into Doncaster or neighbouring towns while farming still shapes the local landscape.
The village is best known for Hickleton Hall, an imposing 18th‑century country house that has been a private residence and later used for institutional purposes; together with a handful of listed cottages and an historic parish church it gives the place a distinctly historic character. Community life centres on the village hall and occasional local events, and the parish’s close links to Doncaster mean it combines rural charm with easy access to urban amenities.
