Cleethorpes is a town in North East Lincolnshire, England, situated on the estuary of the River Humber. It is administered as part of the unitary authority of North East Lincolnshire. Cleethorpes does not have its own town council within North East Lincolnshire, however it does have a board of Charter Trustees. Cleethorpes is a seaside resort and is physically linked to the neighbouring town of Grimsby (the main town boundary runs along the residential, Park Street). Interestingly, Cleethorpes is home to Blundell Park, the home ground of the football team, Grimsby Town F.C., one of few, but not the only, English League clubs with a town or city name to have their home ground in a different community. Residents in older Cleethorpes are called Meggies but it seems very unclear where the name meggie comes from. Some say that the top of Isaac's Hill used to be called "Meg's Island", while others say a "meggie" was the cost of a tram fare from Grimsby to the resort. The term "Meggies" is used in Grimsby to refer to the town itself, as well as its inhabitants. While commonly referred to as a seaside resort, Cleethorpes actually sits on the Humber estuary. The "sea" at Cleethorpes is actually the mouth of the Humber. This means that bathers are separated from the "sea" by several hundred yards of mud at low tide. The sea front provides excellent views of the considerable shipping traffic entering and leaving the Humber for the ports of Grimsby, Immingham, Hull and Goole. wo large fortifications, the Humber Forts are visible in the mouth of the river. On a clear day, the lighthouse situated on Spurn Point can be seen with the naked eye from the North Beach. Cleethorpes has a large boating lake. More on Cleethorpes
