Clifton is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Fylde, Lancashire, England. It sits on the flat coastal plain of the Fylde, a short drive from Lytham St Annes and close to the estuary of the River Ribble, with agricultural fields giving way to coastal marshes and open skies.
Historically a farming community, Clifton today is largely residential with many people commuting to nearby centres such as Blackpool and Preston, while the nearby Clifton Marsh and tidal habitats are valued for wildlife and birdwatching. The village retains a quietly rural, close‑knit character with local amenities and occasional development linked to the surrounding economy.
