Warton is an electoral ward in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, sitting on the eastern fringe of Morecambe Bay. The ward combines a small village core with countryside and coastal fringe, backed by the prominent limestone ridge of Warton Crag, a Local Nature Reserve with an ancient hillfort and good bird and flower interest; parts of the area lie close to the Arnside and Silverdale AONB.
Economically and socially the ward mixes traditional farming and quarrying heritage with modern employment - most notably the aerospace works at BAE Systems Warton nearby - and a commuter relationship with Carnforth and Lancaster. It’s popular with walkers and naturalists for its coastal views, limestone scenery and wildlife, while village life remains distinctly rural and community-focused.
