Edlington sits about four miles southwest of Doncaster, positioned on a limestone ridge that gives parts of the village a surprisingly elevated view over the Don Valley. Historically, it is a place of two halves: Old Edlington, with its ancient stone church of St Peter’s dating back to the 12th century, and the larger "New Edlington," which was built up rapidly at the start of the 20th century to serve the now-closed Yorkshire Main Colliery. While the pit head has long since been replaced by the Martinwells Lake and a sprawling woodland country park, the village retains a sturdily self-contained feel. Most daily needs are met along the main thoroughfare of Edlington Lane, and the proximity to the A1(M) motorway at Warmsworth makes it a practical base for getting across South Yorkshire. It’s a grounded area where the brick terrace architecture of the industrial boom meets the quiet, rugged paths of the surrounding limestone crags.
