Hornby-with-Farleton is a compact, largely rural civil parish in the district of Lancaster, Lancashire, England, centred on the villages of Hornby and Farleton. The area sits beside the River Lune and is known for its rolling farmland and limestone outcrops, with the handsome ruined and restored sections of Hornby Castle forming a local landmark that hints at the parish’s long history.
Locally the economy is driven by agriculture, small businesses and a modest rural tourism trade: walkers come for the views from Farleton Fell and the peaceful Lune Valley, while village life revolves around community halls, a couple of pubs and parish events. The mix of historic buildings, river scenery and easy access to the larger market town of Lancaster gives the parish a quietly attractive, lived-in character.
