Roman Ridge is an electoral ward within the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire. It sits on the edge of Doncaster and combines suburban streets with pockets of open greenbelt, giving it a semi-rural feel compared with more central parts of the town.
The ward takes its name from an ancient raised earthwork thought to mark an old route, and that historic nod sits alongside a contemporary mix of housing, local shops, schools and community facilities. Many residents commute into Doncaster and the wider region, while local groups and parks give the area a quietly active social life.
