Irby is a small rural village and civil parish on the fringes of North East Lincolnshire, set among the gently rolling farmland that leads down towards the southern edge of the Humber Estuary and the Lincolnshire Wolds. Its quiet lanes, scattered cottages and arable fields give it a distinctly agricultural feel, while larger towns such as Grimsby and Cleethorpes lie within easy reach for services and the coast.

Historically the settlement has a long rural pedigree and the community retains a village-centred social life typical of the area, with local events and a reliance on farming alongside commuting to nearby industrial and port-related employment. Visitors and residents appreciate its tranquil character, nearby walking country and the contrast between pastoral landscapes and the busy Humber ports a short drive away.
