About

Burton upon Stather, Alkborough and Gunness cluster along the north bank of the River Trent in North Lincolnshire, close to the point where the Trent and Ouse join to form the Humber estuary. The three settlements sit on river terraces and marsh edge: Burton upon Stather occupies a raised ridge of sand and gravel with a village green and parish church, Alkborough occupies the tip of the triangular spit where tidal and fresh waters meet, and Gunness lines a stretch of riverside that once handled farm produce and goods for nearby industry. Public rights of way run along the river bank and across arable fields, linking the villages with footpaths and bridleways.

The landscape mixes pasture, reclaimed marsh and intertidal flats created by managed realignment at Alkborough Flats, where sections of flood bank were altered to restore tidal habitat. That work has re-established mudflats and salt marsh used by wintering waders and wildfowl, and it changed the pattern of seasonal flooding on riverside meadows. Everyday life in the area still reflects river use: small yards, boat ramps and quaysides sit alongside farms, hedgerows and long boundary drains.
