Westwoodside is a small village in North Lincolnshire, England, sitting on the low-lying farmland of the Isle of Axholme. The landscape is marked by reclaimed fenland, winding drains and dykes engineered to tame the marshes between the nearby River Trent and other waterways, giving the area a distinctive flat, fertile character.
Historically agricultural, the village has a rural economy and a close-knit community that often looks to larger towns such as Scunthorpe for employment and services; it also neighbours village centres like Haxey and Epworth, the latter noted for its John Wesley connection. Local life still revolves around village halls, clubs and traditional events in the Isle of Axholme - most famously the long-running Haxey Hood folk game - and the area retains a mix of older cottages and farmsteads with a quietly historic, village feel.
