Lucton is a small village and civil parish in the north of Herefordshire, England, a few miles north of the market town of Leominster. It sits amid rolling agricultural countryside typical of the county, with stone cottages, a parish church and a landscape of pasture, hedgerows and small woods that reflect its long rural history.
For a settlement of its size Lucton punches above its weight culturally because of Lucton School, an independent boarding and day school founded in the early 18th century that remains an important local employer and community hub. Day-to-day life is quietly rural and closely knit, with farming, small enterprises and links to nearby towns shaping the local economy and social life.
