Whittington is a small rural parish in the district of Lancaster, Lancashire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside a short drive from the city and the coast at Morecambe. The landscape is characterised by hedged fields, stone-built farmhouses and quiet country lanes, offering good views across the Lancashire plain and easy access to nearby walking and cycling routes.
Historically an agricultural community, Whittington retains a modest cluster of historic buildings and a strong local identity, with village events and a reliance on farming alongside commuting to the larger towns for work.
