Broughton is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, lying a few miles north‑east of Scunthorpe on the edge of the low‑lying agricultural plain and within easy reach of the River Ancholme. Its setting gives a pleasing mix of open farmland and hedged lanes while still being close to regional road links and the larger town for shops and services.
Historically a rural community with a parish church at its heart, Broughton has long had strong farming links but in recent decades has also become something of a commuter base for nearby industry and the wider Humber economy. The village retains a lively local scene with schools, pubs, clubs and periodic community events, reflecting a mix of long‑standing local families and newer residents drawn by countryside living within easy reach of urban employment.
