The village of Ulceby lies in the eastern reaches of north Lincolnshire, roughly halfway between the small port city of Grimsby and the seaside resort of Scunthorpe. It's a rural village with a population of around 2,500, surrounded by farms, forests, fields and other even smaller villages such as Keelby and Wooton. As with most Lincolnshire settlements, the village and its close-knit community depend on its post office, community centre, village green, church and two pubs for its social life and community activities, and its local 'chippie' and Chinese take-out for impromptu meals. The medieval village church is charming and interesting, with its tall spire and carved stone gateway. Ulceby hotels are represented by a pub offering accommodation and a small bed and breakfast, with more choice in Hadborough and around nearby Humberside Airport. Unusually for a remote village these days, Ulceby still has its own railway station just a mile away, with trains running to Cleethorpes and Barton on Humber.
