Halton is a compact village just outside Lancaster on the banks of the River Lune in Lancashire, England. Its riverside setting and low-lying farmland give pleasant views down the Lune Valley towards Morecambe Bay and the distant Lakeland fells, making it popular for walkers and for people seeking a quieter base close to the city.

Historically agricultural, Halton still retains a strong village character with a church, school and a handful of local businesses and pubs, while many residents commute into Lancaster. The area combines a modest rural economy with a community-oriented social life and a few listed or older buildings that reflect its long local history.
