Eastoft is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated within the Isle of Axholme, 3 miles (5 km) north-east from Crowle, and on the A161 road at approximate coordinates 53°38′10.7″N, 0°47′3.92″W. It is also close to the boundary with Yorkshire, hence several published sources give "Yorkshire" as the crash location.
