Singleton is a small, rural village and civil parish on the flat agricultural expanse of the Fylde in Lancashire, sitting a few miles inland from the coast. Its setting is typically open fields, hedged lanes and scattered farmsteads, with the village forming a quiet residential hub within easy reach of larger towns such as Poulton-le-Fylde and the seaside resort of Blackpool, and within commuting distance of Preston.
Historically the area has been shaped by farming and market gardening, and that agricultural character still colours village life, alongside a modest commuter population. Community life tends to centre on local events, the village hall and church activities, while residents benefit from nearby coastal attractions on the Fylde coast and the wider amenities of the Lancashire towns around them.
