Map of the UK

Scartho is a suburban ward and village on higher ground in North East Lincolnshire, forming part of the outer suburbs of Grimsby. It combines an older village core and church with mid‑ and late‑20th century housing estates, giving it a quieter, residential feel while remaining a commuter base for local ports and industries.

The area is notable for its historic parish church of St Peter and St Paul, local schools, community groups and small parades of shops, and it offers pleasant views across towards the Humber Estuary and the Lincolnshire Wolds. Economically and socially it sits between the maritime heritage of Grimsby and nearby towns such as Cleethorpes and Immingham, so the character mixes village history with practical, modern suburban life.
