Sprotbrough is a leafy village and civil parish in the City of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, sitting on the banks of the River Don a few miles to the west of the town. It feels distinctly residential and suburban, with a mix of Victorian and stone-built houses, a compact village centre of shops and pubs, and a reputation as an attractive commuter area for people travelling to Doncaster, Sheffield or Leeds.
The locality is notable for its riverside scenery and green spaces: Sprotbrough Gorge is a protected site of special scientific interest with steep limestone escarpments and ancient woodland popular with walkers and wildlife-watchers. The village also retains historic features such as the parish church and a number of listed buildings, and sits close to country-house attractions like Cusworth Hall in Cusworth, giving it a quiet blend of natural, historic and suburban character.
