About

Torksey ward encompasses a rural area on the western edge of West Lindsey, bordering Nottinghamshire. The landscape is dominated by agricultural land and the wide floodplain of the River Trent, which forms its southern boundary. The settlement of Torksey itself is a small village situated directly on the riverbank. This location has historically been significant for river trade and transport.

The area is defined by its relationship with the water, containing drainage channels and areas liable to flooding. The notable Torksey Viaduct, a disused railway bridge, spans the Trent here and is a prominent local landmark. Inland, the ward includes scattered farms and the hamlet of Cottam, with land use primarily focused on arable farming. The Fossdyke Canal, one of England's oldest, connects to the Trent at Torksey.
