Flixborough is a small village located in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Trent and is known for its rich history and beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 2,000 people and is home to a number of local businesses and amenities.

One of the most notable events in Flixborough's history was the Flixborough disaster, which occurred in 1974. The disaster was caused by a massive explosion at a chemical plant in the village, which resulted in the deaths of 28 people and caused extensive damage to the surrounding area.

The village is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the beautiful St. Lawrence's Church and the Flixborough Wharf, which is a popular spot for boating and fishing.
