Burton upon Stather is a riverside village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, sitting on the north bank of the River Trent just upstream of where the Trent helps form the Humber estuary. The village is known for its steep riverside bank which gives fine views over the water and surrounding saltmarshes, making it popular for walking and birdwatching; the element "Stather" in the name reflects the old word for a landing place.
Historically agricultural, the community still has a strong rural character with traditional cottages and a church at its heart, while many residents now commute to nearby industrial and port centres such as Scunthorpe. Local life revolves around village clubs, seasonal events and outdoor pursuits, and the setting close to the estuary gives the area both scenic appeal and a link to the region's maritime economy.
