Flixborough is a small village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, set close to the banks of the River Trent and surrounded by low-lying agricultural land. Its position a short drive from Scunthorpe means it combines a rural character with easy access to larger town services, and much of the local economy has traditionally been tied to farming and, more recently, to nearby industrial and chemical employers.
The village is notable in recent history for the 1974 industrial explosion at a nearby chemical works, an event that had a profound local impact and prompted changes to plant safety and emergency planning across the UK. Community life today remains quietly rural, centred on local amenities, the parish church and village events, with the landscape and the river still shaping daily life and recreation.
