The River Don (also called Dun in some stretches) is a river in South Yorkshire, England. It rises in the Pennines and flows for 112 km (70 miles) eastwards, through the Don Valley, via Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster and Stainforth. It originally joined the Trent, but (re-engineered by Vermuyden as the Dutch River), now joins the River Ouse at Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

  • The River Don (also called Dun in some stretches) is a river in South Yorkshire, England. It rises in the Pennines and flows for 112 km (70 miles) eastwards, through the Don Valley, via Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster and Stainforth. It originally joined the Trent, but (re-engineered by Vermuyden as the Dutch River), now joins the River Ouse at Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Don Valley is the local UK parliamentary constituency near the Doncaster stretch of the river. The Don's major tributaries are the Loxley, the Rivelin, the Sheaf, the Rother and the Dearne. Along the Sheffield–Rotherham stretch of the river are five weirs that punctuate a local walking and cycling route, the Five Weirs Walk. A further walk, the Upper Don Walk, is being developed that will make it possible to walk or cycle from Sheffield city centre up to Oughtibridge. The industrial nature of the region has led to a severe pollution problem for the river, although this has abated somewhat over recent years, with salmon reported in the river near Doncaster. Fig trees grow on a stretch of the river bank in Sheffield, the seeds having germinated successfully thanks to the increased warmth of the water near factory outfalls. The Don derives its name from Dôn, a Celtic mother goddess. The river gave its name to the Don River, one of the principal rivers of Toronto, Canada.
  • Der Don (River Don) in einigen Landstrichen auch als Dun genannt, ist ein Fluss in South Yorkshire, England. Er entspringt in den Pennineshügeln und fließt etwa 112 km ostwärts. Dabei durchquert er die Orte: Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster und Stainforth, bevor er in den Humber mündet.
  • Le Don est une rivière du Yorkshire du Sud, Angleterre. La rivière prend sa source au cœur de la chaîne des montagnes des Pennines et coule à travers Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster et Stainforth. Elle rejoint l'Ouse à Goole, Yorkshire de l'Est. La nature industrielle de la région mena à une sévère pollution de la rivière, depuis le déclin de l'industrie lourde la santé de la rivière s'est améliorée et du saumon a été observé aussi loin en amont que Doncaster. Des figuiers poussent le lont de la rivière à Sheffield grâce aux températures supérieures présente aux alentours des usines. Le nom Don provient de Dôn, la déesse mère de la mythologie celtique galloise
  • Don (også kalt Dun på enkelte strekninger) er ei elv i South Yorkshire i England. Den er ei sideelv til Ouse, og er 112 km lang. Don har sitt utspring i Penninene og renner mot øst gjennom Dondale, via byene Penistone, Sheffield, Rotherham, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster og Stainforth. Den munnet opprinnelig ut i elva Trent, men ble på 1600-tallet kanalisert og ledet lengre nord, og munner nå ut i elva Ouse ved Goole i Yorkshire. Dons viktigste sideelver er Loxley, Rivelin, Sheaf, Rother og Dearne. Regionens industrielle natur har medført alvorlige forurensningsproblemer for elva. Dog har disse problemene avtatt de seneste årene, og det er rapportert fangst av laks i elva ved Doncaster. Navnet Don er avledet fra Danu (eller Dôn), en keltisk morsgudinne.
