Claughton is a small, predominantly rural parish in the district of Lancaster, within Lancashire, England. Nestled on the edge of the Forest of Bowland and overlooking the Lune Valley, it consists of a scattering of stone farmhouses and a compact village set among rolling farmland and quiet lanes, making it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically agricultural, the local economy remains centred on farming supplemented by a few holiday lets and small enterprises, and the area contains several traditional buildings and a parish church that hint at its long history. The community is small and close-knit, with local events and clubs helping retain a strong countryside identity while still being within easy reach of Lancaster for additional services.
