High Melton is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside, it retains a compact historic core with traditional stone houses and a parish church, and offers a rural feel while being within reasonable reach of the town’s services and transport links.
Historically the settlement grew around a manor and farming estate, and several listed buildings hint at its past ties to the local gentry and agricultural economy. Today the village remains quiet and community‑centred, with much of the local economy still linked to farming while many residents commute to work in Doncaster and neighbouring towns.
