Norton is a civil parish on the edge of the town of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England, combining a small village core with surrounding rural land and suburban housing. Its setting gives a pleasant mix of stone cottages and more modern homes, with fields and hedgerows still dominant in places so it feels distinctly quieter than the nearby town centre.
Historically the area has agricultural roots and later links to the wider Doncaster economy, and today residents tend to commute into the town for work while local life centres on community facilities, village groups and a handful of local shops and pubs. The parish balance of countryside and commuter convenience, together with occasional historic buildings and lanes, makes it a quietly attractive spot for people wanting easy access to Doncaster without urban hustle.
