9. Hooton Pagnell
Hooton Pagnell, in the borough of Doncaster near the border with West Yorkshire, is surrounded by rolling fields and woods and is a fine starting point for a walk. It is an estate village mostly belonging to Hooton Pagnell Hall with links to an old Norman family, the Paganels. Photo: Mel Hulme
