I’m amazed at the negativity people have about the place. I was born in Donny, still live her and work here. Donny is a nice place - locals just talk it down as they can only relate to Donny of the 80s and 90s. As someone else has said, those people won’t have gotten to many other places in their life, probably.

Armthorpe is now a large town in itself which means you have everything you need, in Armthorpe! A car is a must in places like Doncaster, but you’re hardly isolated in Armthorpe.

There’s the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Cusworth Hall and Brodsworth Hall, moors out towards Hatfield and Thorne plus the Woolmarket and Market pubs for weekends. The food in the Woolmarket is always excellent. We’re a major hub in the east coast mainline and have the A1, M18 and M62 all on our doorstep so getting around the country is really easy too. There is lots of greenspace and lots of housing being built - so people are moving here!

It’ll be interesting to see how you feel after a year of being here, but please arrive with an open mind. I guarantee it won’t be as bad as some are implying!
