Caer Daun Per Ferrum Equum

A sunny but blustery day gave us a good reason to get out and about. We sped of to Doncaster on the Northern Line train. The labyrinthine shopping centre cause some confusion. One of the local tribeswomen gave us the guidance needed so that we eventually found our way out into the sunshine again. The streets were packed with locals foraging for black puddings and tattoos but, thankfully, they were over-fed so that we were in little danger of being taken for a passing snack. After a passable coffee in a Costa café we wandered to the Minster.

Doncaster Minster is a excellent example of Victoria Gothic. The building occupies part of the site of the Roman fort (AD 80). The Minster is a delight to visit; being a relatively new construction all is in excellent condition and the stained glass quite stunning in the sunshine.

We braved the shopping centre on our way back to the rail station and nearly lost our way again. The train trip back to Sheffield was fast and the train clean ... a delightful way to travel.
