Elm Tree Farm Glamping

There’s a huge amount to see and do around the hinterlands of Doncaster. Stop number-one may be Yorkshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes’ drive), where you can take walking safaris through the lion reserve (if you dare) or get up close to endangered polar bears and red pandas in spacious enclosures. On a family visit? The stars of the show at Boston Park Farm are cuddly farm animals and ponies, plus lambs and piglets in spring. You can stretch your legs around the wetlands at Hatfield Moors Nature Reserve and clamber over the floating obstacle course at Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre (all five minutes) – and if you encounter the odd rainy day (this being South Yorkshire), The Dome leisure centre (15 minutes) has an indoor waterpark with flumes and various sports courts. Keen on vintage transport? You can climb aboard World War II fighter planes at South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum (20 minutes), which also has helicopters, displays of weaponry and model train sets, while The Trolleybus Museum (10 minutes) takes a nostalgic look at public transport with a huge range of buses and trolley buses.
