North Scarle
North Scarle is situated in Lincolnshire near to the Nottinghamshire border
in the valley of the River Trent.
Geographically, North Scarle parish is more part of Nottinghamshire, by
which it is bordered on three sides, than it is Lincolnshire. Eagle parish
borders on the east side. Wigsley and Spalford in Nottinghamshire are to the
north. South Scarle, which is also in Nottinghamshire, lies just to the
south. The parish covers about 2,000 acres.
The closest major towns are Lincoln to the North East (8 ý miles) and Newark
to the South (8 ý miles), with many surrounding small villages.
To the West of the village the River Trent flows north towards the Humber
estuary. The major road links are the A1133 to the East and the A46 (Fosse
Way) to the South East. The Newark to Lincoln railway line passes to the
South East, the closest station being at Swinderby.
The village is still small and relatively un-spoilt comprising mostly
residential housing and a small number of business premises. The village
also has a public house (The White Hart), Post Office, Parish Church, Church
Hall, Sports & Social Club, Sports Field (comprising tennis courts, bowling
green, children's play area, cricket & football pitches), Primary School &
Heritage Room.
Equestrian sports are popular in the area and fishing is also a major
