  • Full 4K walking tour of Doncaster City Centre, South Yorkshire, England
    A look at the market town of Doncaster in Yorkshire in the North of England
    Also watch this tour of Rotherham 👉 • ROTHERHAM | Full tour ...
    Doncaster Town Centre was basked in beautiful sunshine when we filmed this walk through the streets to take a look at the people, shops and businesses in this bustling market town
    In this video we take the route from Market Place, down Baxter Gate, then onto St Sepulchre Gate, Trafford Way, Cleveland Street and Silver Street before ending up back at Doncaster Market.
    I was shocked just how big the centre of Doncaster actually is and how many big name shops there are in the streets and also in the Frenchgate Centre and Colonnades Centre. It's fair to say that there are all the big names you'd expect to see on any high street in Doncaster.
    Doncaster is a market town on the River Don in South Yorkshire in the North of England.
    Doncaster Market has hundreds of indoor and outdoor stands and stalls, including the beautiful Corn Exchange, a grand Victorian shopping centre.
    Over 300,000 people live and reside in and around the town, although sadly it has been regularly voted in the top 10 of worst places to live in the UK.
    The town also has an airport just five miles South East of the town centre known as Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and because of its location Doncaster is extremely popular with business as a hub for distribution centres for goods.
    So whether you want to visit the town for the horse racing at Doncaster Race Course, the shops and shopping in the Frenchgate Centre or to hang out it's easy to get to, really easy to park up and walk into the centre and there are plenty of places to visit and look around here.
    Famous and notable people associated with Doncaster include the singer and musician Louis Tomlinson from the band One Direction.
    TV show celebrity Jeremy Clarkson also famously hails from the town, actor Brian Blessed comes from nearby Mexborough
    I thought you might like to see what Doncaster is like in 2021 so we took our cameras and filmed this walk through the town to show it in its raw form so you can see for yourself.
    So what's it like to live in Doncaster in 2021? Well there are good areas and bad areas in every town and city and it's no different here.
    Things to do in Doncaster include visiting the Minster, the racecourse, or maybe a gig at a live music venue like The Leopard to see some live music, walking around the markets here etc. There are lots of things here if you're wondering what to do in Doncaster whilst you're here.

    My husband and I went there in 2019 because of Louis Tomlinson’s video “Back To You”. We went to Keepmoat Stadium, and the skating rink at the Dome;-) Also, we stopped at the Yorkshire zoo after finding Louis’ old school at Hall Cross.He sings about Silver Street and it’s neon signs in his song “Change”…We all know that feeling when you go back home and things have changed…but also kind of stay the same. Louis and One Direction filmed “Gotta Be You” in MY hometown, so I get nostalgic every time I go back home . Louis knows how to write songs that one can relate to. He’s ace

    At one time of day, the market place was thriving, fabulous place to shop for just about anything you could think of from fresh breads, cheeses, meats through to plants, flowers, clothes and everyday essentials. The many independent shops offered great choices too. It was a busy town with lots to offer. Now (in my opinion) it is full of cheap shops, empty shops, boarded up places, multitude of pubs and cheap drinking holes, fast foods, phone shops, vape shops and not much else...except the host of doorway huggers, people down on their luck, those with addictions and during non covid times, streets where vomit dodging becomes an art form. Such a tragic shame, another great British town lost forever.

      You're right. I loved the market and all the characters, I especially remember the china stall where they'd put on an a great show to attract the punters, throwing the plates around and with a 'patter' better than most 'entertainers' on tv nowadays. Then there was the lovely smell of Armitage's sweet stall and the fruit and veg sellers pitching bargains and washing locally grown celery, not to mention Britain's best fish market - including the cow heal and tripe stalls. . . . . folks who don't like tripe have never tried it done right! The there was Leesings near the market for the most delicious hot roast pork sandwiches - mmm. A great town.

      Russian name of the city.
      Don - River. Caster is coal, fire. (Namely they did charcoal). That is, we have a complete compliance of the name and the mining region.
      In fact, Doncaster is Don-Bass (Donetskaya Pool)
      The second question is when they were the Russian language. Thames of the river also translates as dark)))

    Really enjoyed this excellent walking tour of Doncaster which looks a very modern town centre and not what I expected at all. People must appreciate that most places have their grot spots. The junkies, chavs and drop out's who congregate are not really the fault of the town planners but a sub-culture which has developed in society that is blighting all towns and cities right across the country. I bet there are equally as many weirdo's per square foot in the town where I live. Great video though!

    I spent the first 20 years of my life in Doncaster, born and raised in Hatfield. Spent the last 20 years living in the Midlands and even though I fond memories of my 80s n 90s childhood and youth in Doncaster, I can't ever see me going back. We used to twag school sometimes and hang around the arndale centre and the market. We'd always be buying goofy things from the old joke shop inside the market, and then buy some vhs tapes from the stall opposite, because they were only 50p. And then it was off to buy a few records from our price. Everyone remember our price upstairs in the arndale?
    Then it was off back to the market place and JD to check out the latest Reebok pumps and Jordan shoes. Good times.

      @@GimbalWalkTV bought my first record in our price. It was def leppards animal, and I'd bought it out of my pocket money. Had to have been around summer of 88 if memory serves me correctly, and I'd have been 7 years old.
      Do you remember the old Britannia stores aswell? I would go to town back then with my aunt and grandmother ever Saturday, and our price, Britannia, Woolworths, and Marks and Spencer were always on the list of places we'd shop in. And to finish off we would stop in at a cafe opposite what is now frechgate centre, and it was called poppin at pippens. I bet that cafe vanished 25-30 years ago now.
      Everything had changed on your video, and the only two places that looked the same were rothwells chippy, and the black bull pub. And even rothwells had had a facelift. Makes me quite sad to see the place as it is today.

    Doncaster has a very mixed town centre. Some of it, especially around Cleveland Street and the Waterdale Centre is ugly, but equally a lot of it is lovely. Frenchgate since it was extended is very nice.
    Further out, there is the lovely little town of Bawtry, and Tickhill is also nice.
    What's sad though is the empty shops, and big voids like Debenhams that will be hard to fill.
