Map of the UK

Tetney is a small village and civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set close to the North Sea and the wide saltmarshes of the Humber Estuary. Its low-lying, marshy landscape - reflected in the village’s island-like name - gives way to nature-rich grazing and reedbeds at Tetney Marshes and the tiny fishing harbour of Tetney Haven, which attract birdwatchers and anglers as well as walkers into the coastal countryside.

Locally the economy still leans on agriculture and small-scale fishing, though the village sits within easy reach of larger industrial and port towns such as Louth, Grimsby and Immingham, so energy and logistics jobs are not far away. Tetney retains a strong village feel with community events, a parish church and village amenities reflecting a long rural history while living quietly alongside the modern infrastructure of the Humber coast.
