Burton upon Stather is a quiet riverside village in North Lincolnshire, sitting on the west bank of the River Trent, a few miles north of Scunthorpe. Its name probably derives from an Old Norse word for a landing place, reflecting long-standing ties to the river; the settlement has medieval origins and a compact historic core centred on its parish church and a handful of older listed buildings.
Today the village blends agricultural surroundings with commuter links to industry along the Humber estuary, and it’s well liked for riverside walks, birdwatching and a steady programme of community events in the village hall - a small but active social life that helps preserve the place’s tranquil, scenic character.
