The village and civil parish of Gunness sits on the east bank of the River Trent in North Lincolnshire, a short distance from Scunthorpe and the low-lying flats of the Isle of Axholme. Its riverside setting has long shaped the local landscape, with reclaimed farmland, flood defences and a network of drains and dykes marking the transition from village to river.
Historically a small agricultural community, Gunness later felt the pull of nearby industrial growth - particularly the steelworks around Scunthorpe - while largely retaining a quiet, village character. The parish offers a mix of older cottages and more modern housing, a close-knit social life centred on local clubs and the village hall, and easy access to riverside walks and country lanes for those wanting rural calm with reasonable links to larger towns.
