Bottesford is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, lying on the southern edge of Scunthorpe. It sits where urban suburbia meets open countryside, within easy reach of the River Trent and the broader Humber estuary landscape, so it combines a compact village feel with good road links to the surrounding towns and industrial centres.
Locally the community mixes traditional village amenities - a parish church, primary school, village hall and small shops - with a history and economy shaped by proximity to the Scunthorpe steelworks and regional agriculture. Residents often enjoy countryside walks and community clubs, while many commute into Scunthorpe or farther afield, so the parish has a quietly mixed social character of long‑standing local families and newer commuters.
