Location
Alkborough is a picturesque village resting on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, where wide skies and open countryside define the landscape. With sweeping views over the Alkborough Flats—an expansive nature reserve at the meeting point of the Rivers Trent and Ouse—the village is a sanctuary for wildlife and a favourite with walkers and birdwatchers.
This is a place where history and nature live side by side. Julian’s Bower, a rare turf maze dating back to medieval times, sits above the river valley, while a network of footpaths offers quiet routes through ancient farmland and wooded trails. Despite its rural charm, Alkborough remains well connected. Scunthorpe and Gainsborough are within easy reach for shopping, schools, and services, and the M180 offers direct routes further afield.
With its calm, timeless character and rich sense of place, Alkborough offers a peaceful rural lifestyle grounded in history and surrounded by some of Lincolnshire’s most beautiful scenery.
