Upper Lune Valley is a largely rural ward set along the course of the River Lune, close to Lancaster in Lancashire, England. The landscape is a mix of rolling pasture, limestone outcrops and small woodlands, with old stone bridges, former mill sites and scattered villages and hamlets giving the area a strong sense of local history and character.
Local life is shaped by farming and a modest tourism trade - it’s popular with walkers and cyclists - while many residents commute into Lancaster or neighbouring Morecambe. Proximity to the Forest of Bowland AONB, active community groups and conservation work help preserve the distinctive scenery and biodiversity of the valley.
