Althorpe is a small riverside village in North Lincolnshire, set on the low-lying banks of the River Trent and often thought of together with neighbouring Keadby. Its landscape is typical of the reclaimed marshes and drainage channels around the Humber estuary and the old agricultural island known as the Isle of Axholme, giving wide, flat vistas and strong ties to river and maritime trade history.
Today Althorpe feels like a quiet rural community with village amenities and good transport links that historically grew up around river crossings, rail and nearby industry. The locality is influenced economically by nearby centres such as Scunthorpe and energy infrastructure like Keadby power station, while its historic character and riverside setting remain the biggest draws for residents and visitors.
