Gunness is a small village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, set on the east bank of the River Trent opposite the low-lying fenlands. Its riverside position gives it the character of the Humber/Trent estuary landscape and links it historically to river trade and ferry crossings; the nearby swing and lifting bridges at Keadby and the industrial growth around Scunthorpe have shaped its development.
Today Gunness feels rural and community-focused, with farming, riverside walks and birdlife important locally, while many residents also travel to nearby towns for work. The village retains a quiet historic charm that reflects both its fenland setting and the wider economic ties to the steel and power industries of the region, and it sits within the patchwork of settlements around the Isle of Axholme and Humber estuary.
