Marsh is an inner-urban ward of Lancaster in Lancashire, sitting on low-lying ground close to the tidal reaches of the River Lune and the margins of Morecambe Bay. Its name reflects historic marshland and reclamation, and the geography means flood defences and drainage have long shaped development and local planning.
The area contains a mix of Victorian terraces, later housing and pockets of light industry and small commercial premises, with many residents commuting into the city centre or to nearby institutions such as Lancaster University. Community groups, churches and modest green spaces are active locally, and themes of regeneration, affordable housing and flood resilience feature often in civic discussion.
