About

Ferry ward encompasses the western bank of the River Trent, directly opposite the town of Scunthorpe. The area includes the villages of Burton upon Stather and Alkborough, along with surrounding rural land. Its landscape is defined by the riverfront and the elevated limestone ridge of the Lincolnshire Cliff, which provides views across the Trent floodplain. The ward's economy has historical ties to riverside trade and agriculture, with farming remaining a visible presence across its fields.

A notable feature is the Alkborough Flats, a large managed realignment site where tidal defences were breached to create new intertidal habitat. The Julian's Bower turf maze, a medieval labyrinth cut into the hillside at Alkborough, is a centuries-old local landmark. The area's network of quiet lanes and footpaths connects its settlements to the river and the wooded slopes of the escarpment, emphasising its semi-rural character.
