Bentley sits just north of Doncaster, separated from the city centre by the River Don and the canal. It is an area defined largely by its industrial past, having grown significantly during the peak of the South Yorkshire coal trade when Bentley Colliery was one of the region's major employers. Today, the town is primarily residential, offering a mix of traditional red-brick terraces and newer developments. It remains well-connected, with its own railway station providing a short, five-minute link into Doncaster’s main transport hub, while the nearby A19 and A1(M) offer straightforward routes north and south. For outdoor space, the Bentley Park provides a central green area with its own pavilion and play spaces, and the nearby Bentley Community Woodland offers trails established on the site of the former colliery. Given its location on the flood plains of the Don, the local landscape is flat and low-lying, which has historically made water management a key characteristic of the local geography.
