context_page_description: The River Don is a river in South Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It rises in the Pennines, west of Dunford Bridge, and flows for 70 miles eastwards, through the Don Valley, via Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster and Stainforth. It originally joined the Trent, but was re-engineered by Cornelius Vermuyden as the Dutch River in the 1620s, and now joins the River Ouse at Goole. Don Valley is the local UK parliamentary constituency near the Doncaster stretch of the river.
context_section_description: One of many footpath crossings of the Don in the upper part of its course.  This path links the A628 (near St Saviour’s Church) with Leapings Lane.  There is a ford by the side of the footbridge and this can be easily crossed by road vehicles for most of the year.
