Winterton is a small town in North Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles east of Scunthorpe and close to the banks of the Humber. It sits on flat, low-lying farmland at the edge of the Humberhead Levels and has a long history: archaeological finds point to Roman and earlier occupation, while the street pattern and parish church still reflect medieval roots.

Today Winterton serves as a local service hub with shops, clubs and community events; its economy is rooted in surrounding agriculture and in commuting to nearby industrial centres. Its appeal is a relaxed, village-like community life with active local groups and easier access to the larger towns and estuary landscape nearby.
