Poulton is an electoral ward in Lancaster, Lancashire, in north‑west England. It is largely a residential area on the edges of the city, with a mix of Victorian terraces and later suburban housing served by local shops, schools and pubs; many residents commute into Lancaster or to nearby centres such as Preston and Manchester.
The ward’s character reflects Lancaster’s industrial and maritime past, with pockets of older streets alongside small green spaces and community centres. Active local groups organise neighbourhood events and projects to improve amenities, and Poulton offers a quieter base for accessing city attractions like Lancaster Castle and the coastal draws around Morecambe.
