Humberston and New Waltham are neighbouring villages on the outskirts of Cleethorpes and Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire, sitting between low-lying farmland and the coast of the Humber Estuary. Humberston is notable for its coastal strip, including the distinctive bungalow line known locally as Humberston Fitties, dunes and easy access to sandy beaches, while New Waltham lies slightly inland and is primarily a residential, commuter community with a compact high street and local amenities.
Both places have historic roots in agriculture and the wider maritime economy of the area and have been shaped by suburban growth in the 19th and 20th centuries; today their economies and social life are closely tied to nearby Grimsby and Cleethorpes, with schools such as Humberston Academy, active community groups, pubs and clubs. The location is also attractive for walkers and birdwatchers, offering coastal walks, saltmarshes and quick access to the coastal leisure scene.
