Warton in the borough of Fylde, Lancashire, England is a compact village set on the flat coastal plain of the Fylde, only a short drive from Kirkham and the seaside towns of Lytham St Annes and Blackpool. Its location gives easy access to both rural lanes and the coast, so you get a mix of agricultural landscape and nearby resort amenities rather than an isolated rural feel.
The village is perhaps best known for its aviation links: the adjacent Warton Aerodrome (historically associated with RAF Warton) is a major local employer and has shaped Warton's economy and identity through aircraft testing and assembly. That industrial presence sits alongside a traditional village centre of older cottages and community groups, so life here blends long-standing local social traditions with a modern manufacturing influence.
