Middleton is a small civil parish in the district of Lancaster, in Lancashire, sitting on the rural fringe of the Morecambe Bay area. The landscape is typically a mix of working farmland, hedgerows and a few scattered hamlets, and it benefits from open views towards the estuary and the Lancashire coastline.
Its roots run back centuries and the parish still shows traces of historic settlement, with some older buildings and a quiet, community-centred feel. The local economy remains largely agricultural, though many people commute into Lancaster or Morecambe, and the closeness to the bay makes the area popular for walkers, birdwatchers and anyone interested in coastal wildlife and rural tranquillity.
