Scunthorpe is an industrial town that reaches back into history as far as the bronze Age, set in north Lincolnshire. This busy town has two shopping centres, an indoor Market and an impressive contemporary Arts Centre in 20 - 21, Art and Craft exhibitions are held here, there is even a chance to buy hand made jewellery or ceramics, or for thirsty visitors why not have a coffee. housed inside the splendid church building of St John. Or if church’s are your thing, call in at St Lawrence, this lovely 12th Century church has many delights inside, or perhaps the North Lincolnshire Museum with it’s exhibits from rocks and fossils when dinosaurs roamed, to treasures from the Stone Age and Medieval period, or perhaps the excitement of travelling by steam ‘Steam Rail Tours’ where locomotives take you on a journey around one of Europe’s steel producing centres, time it right and watch the steel being made. Or why not visit the ‘Trolley Bus Museum’ a few miles from here where the world’s largest real working trolley busses gather, or there is always the ‘Time Trap Museum’ housed inside the Town Hall where you pass through dark winding corridors and share the experience of the prisoners cells. There is no doubt that Normanby Hall Country Park will impress, set in 3,000 acres, with it’s fascinating Farm Museum that details Lincolnshire’s rural heritage, it’s Victorian Walled Garden Nature Trails, Woodland and even a Deer Park, what else could be asked for…perhaps a children’s workshop and miniature railway, well, it’s all here. Or there is always Barton Claypits to explore, where once it was supplying clay for the brick and tile industries, now flooded is a perfect haven of a Nature Reserve, or why not try the outdoor Pursuits Centre close by. Scunthorpe worth a visit…most definitely.
