Ridge is an electoral ward within the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire in England, covering a mix of small villages, hamlets and surrounding agricultural land. The landscape is typical of northern Lincolnshire, with open arable fields, hedgerows and local drainage features rather than dramatic topography, giving the ward a distinctly rural feel despite its political links to a larger council area.
The local economy is largely agricultural, with many residents also commuting to nearby towns for work, while village halls, parish churches and occasional conservation areas provide focal points for community life. Historically many of the settlements in the ward have medieval roots and the area retains a quieter, community-oriented character with regular local events, parish councils addressing everyday concerns and an interest in preserving local heritage and countryside amenities.
