A fitting tribute to what made this area great sits in Centenary Riverside, a beautiful oasis in the heart of industrial Doncaster. Steel Henge sits on part of the site that was once the Templeborough steelworks.

This tranquil spot now is part of Rotherham’s flood alleviation scheme. The cast iron ingots that were used to make the henge were found on the site and were erected to form a henge. Like its cousins Stonehenge and Woodhenge, it is positioned to reflect the solstice.

Know Before You Go

The reserve may sometimes be closed during periods of wet weather as the site is a flood plain.
