The village of Barnetby le Wold, to give it it's full name, is situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds about half way in between Scunthorpe, to the west, and Grimsby to the east. It is well situated lying at junction 5 of the M180 and on the main rail line from Cleethorpes to Doncaster or Lincoln. The line appeals to many train spotters due to the fact that it still has a large number of semaphore signals.

Barnetby is home to about 1500 people and several small enterprises including, The Station Hotel, The Railway Inn, Baig's Newsagents, Dillons Store, a post office, hair salon and a doctors clinic. There are a few options for visitors wishing to stay in the village, including Reginald House, the Station Hotel and Holcombe House.

The old church (St. Mary's) situated on the hill above the village is said to have lost its steeple when Oliver Cromwell and his men shot it off !! Since then a new church has been built (St. Barnabas'), on Victoria Road in the village, and very recently a new church hall has been added. The Methodist Church is located on West Street.

Barnetby Silver Band began over 120 years ago in the village and now has its own band room conveniently located on Railway Street near the two pubs.
