North LincolnshireScunthorpe

Scunthorpe, originally five rural villages, the discovery of iron ore in 1860 changed the landscape, creating the industrial town we see today.

The town has many parks and gardens as well as facilities for sport and leisure, with cinemas, a theatre, art gallery and museum.

Two interesting churches, St Lawrence's church, 12th century, and St John's Church built from local ironstone.

Museum, heritage trail. Tourist Information Centre in the Central Library.

Quite a few things to see out and about.
