Leck is a small, rural civil parish in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, England, set in the rolling countryside of the Lune Valley. The area is characterised by patchwork farmland, limestone outcrops and moorland uplands such as Leck Fell, giving a landscape that feels very much on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland rather than a built-up township.
Historically agricultural, the parish still relies on livestock and hill farming but draws visitors for walking, birdlife and caving on the limestone fells; the pattern of scattered hamlets, old farmhouses and a small local church reflects a close‑knit rural community with a quiet, outdoors‑oriented social life and a modest contribution from tourism.
