Don Island
Don Island is a small island located in the River Don, Yorkshire, England. It is situated near the town of Thorne and is part of the wider Doncaster Metropolitan Borough. The island is formed by the river splitting into two branches, creating a triangular-shaped landmass.
Covering an area of approximately 2.5 hectares, Don Island is predominantly flat and is largely made up of grassland. It is surrounded by the River Don on all sides, with the water flowing gently along its shores. The island provides a peaceful and picturesque setting, with views of the surrounding countryside.
Access to the island is limited, as it is only accessible by boat or by crossing a small footbridge from the mainland. As a result, it remains relatively untouched by human activity, making it a haven for wildlife. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including swans, ducks, and herons, which can often be spotted along the riverbanks.
Don Island is a popular spot for anglers, as the river surrounding the island is known for its rich fish population. Fishing enthusiasts can often be seen casting their lines from the riverbanks in the hope of catching trout, pike, or perch.
Overall, Don Island offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its natural beauty and abundant wildlife make it an attractive destination for nature lovers, anglers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat in Yorkshire's picturesque countryside.

Electric Arc Furnace at Magna
Once one of the largest steel plants to be found, now simply a museum.
"The Big Melt" at Magna
This recreation of a working arc furnace is impressive, but nowhere near the real experience of what was once the Steel, Peach & Tozer plant, one of the largest to be found.
Cycling Weathervane
This weathervane takes the form of a cyclist, which is very apt as it is on top of a cycle shop. The building is an ex-fire station, which explains the tower.

Boston Castle - Rotherham
The castle, built in 1775, was a hunting lodge owned by the Earl of Effingham. The Earl marked his objection to the harsh British treatment of the American colonies, by naming the lodge Boston Castle (after Boston, Massachusetts, the scene of the Boston Tea Party of 1775). He also banned tea drinking at the castle! The building has suffered badly from vandalism and is currently derelict. It stands on a hillside with fine views over the valley of the Rivers Don and Rother.
