St Andrew’s Church, Donington on Bain

Highlight • Historical Site

St Andrew’s is a stunning 12th-century church in the heart of Donington on Bain. Whilst there has inevitably been many restorations over the years, the Grade II-listed church has plenty of original features, including the nave and chancel, as well as an interesting drum font, which all date to the 12th century.

St Helen's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

St Helen’s is a small, rural church that was built in 1847 in the Gothic style. Due to some damage to the roof, the church is currently disused. However, it remains an atmospheric building in a peaceful location and boasts some charming 19th-century stained glass. The church is Grade II-listed.

Donington on Bain Lakes

These small lakes formed in the working of old sand and gravel pits. Today nature has reclaimed the area, and it's a lovely mix of scrub and woodland, dotted with ponds.
