Great Humby is the smaller of two hamlets, the other being Little Humby. It is located 7 or 8 miles out of Grantham, Lincolnshire. It is home to roughly 15 people, it has a small chapel with a nearby pond. The main attraction to this small hamlet is the turkey farm.

Great Humby is surrounded by farmland, most of the village itself being a farm. As you drive through there is a house with a railway signal box and various other pieces of railway hardware in the front garden, the interesting thing is that there is no railway for miles around.
