Norton sits in the low-lying countryside about eight miles north of Doncaster, right on the boundary where South Yorkshire meets North Yorkshire. It’s a linear village that has grown steadily over the years, though it still feels anchored by the older limestone buildings around the High Street and the primary school. Historically, it was an agricultural community, and you still get a strong sense of that today with the surrounding fields and the proximity to the River Went just to the north. For getting around, it’s remarkably practical; the A19 is right on the doorstep, and the A1(M) is only a few minutes' drive away, which makes it a quiet spot that is nonetheless well-connected to nearby hubs like Selby and Pontefract. While it shares much of its day-to-day life with the neighbouring village of Campsall - where the local secondary school and the historic 12th-century church are located - Norton maintains its own identity, centered around the local pub, the village hall, and a network of footpaths that head out towards the Went Valley.
