Belton is a small village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles east of Scunthorpe in the flat, agricultural lowlands of northern Lincolnshire and not far from the Humber estuary. Its setting of country lanes, arable fields and hedgerows makes it typical of the region and popular for walkers and those seeking a rural base close to larger towns.
The village has medieval roots and a handful of historic buildings, including a traditional parish church, but its fortunes have long been tied to farming and the nearby industrial growth around Scunthorpe. Today Belton largely functions as a residential and commuter community while retaining a strong village feel through local pubs, a village hall and community activities that reflect its rural heritage.
