Crowle is tucked away in the peaceful countryside of the Isle of Axholme, once an inland island, which stretches around 18 miles in length.
The small town itself stands by the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, and is situated on one of the Isle's largest areas of dry land.
It’s a charming little spot which dates back centuries, and it has become a popular commuting town for people working in Goole, Scunthorpe and Doncaster.
There are some interesting old properties – among them a former National Endowed School which is now a youth centre – and Crowle has good local facilities.
There are approximately 4,090 people living in 1706 households in Crowle.

Sub Areas of Crowle
Ealand: Situated in the Isle of Axholme just off the A161 near its junction with the A18, Ealand is a small village on very flat landscape by the Stainforth and Keadby Canal.
The A161 used to go through the village, until a new bridge was built over the railway.
Crowle railway station is located in the village, and The Seven Lakes Leisure Park (former sand pits) is nearby.
Eastoft: Another of those small but interesting villages which dot the flat countryside of the Isle of Axholme.
It’s a pleasant little community with only 378 people and two pubs. The A161 road runs directly through the village which is said to be little over sea-level in height.
Luddington: This is a small community with a population of around 400 people.
It's a traditional village with little in the way of development - even along High Street where gaps left by demolition proved slow to be in-filled with new property.
This street has two pubs, the Blue Bell Inn and the Lincolnshire Arms; shopping is limited with just two establishments.
