The ward covering the village of Silverdale sits on the north shore of Morecambe Bay in the district of Lancaster, Lancashire, England. Much of the area lies within the Arnside and Silverdale AONB, characterised by limestone pavement, saltmarsh and dunes, and with nearby Leighton Moss a nationally important RSPB reserve - it’s a magnet for walkers and birdwatchers.
Locally the economy is shaped by tourism, small‑scale farming and local services, centred on a compact village of independent shops, cafés and an active arts community; the ward also acts as a commuter base for people working in Lancaster and on the Furness coast. Its history is rooted in rural trades and limestone working, giving the place a well‑preserved, conservation‑minded character.
