Westby-with-Plumptons is a largely rural civil parish in the borough of Fylde, on the flat coastal plain of Lancashire in England. It sits between the seaside towns of Lytham St Annes and Blackpool, characterised by farmland, hedgerows and small villages and hamlets with long views towards the Irish Sea and the Ribble Estuary.
The area retains a strong agricultural identity - market gardening and livestock remain important - while many residents commute to nearby towns, giving a mix of traditional parish life and modern pressures from coastal tourism and development. Social life is centred on village halls, churches and local pubs, and the locality is popular with walkers and birdwatchers who use the nearby coastal reserves and beaches. Historically the landscape is dotted with old farmhouses and lanes that hint at a long rural past.
