Wray-with-Botton is a small, predominantly rural parish in the district of Lancaster, Lancashire, in north‑west England. It sits amid rolling farmland and limestone scenery on the fringe of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a patchwork of dry‑stone walls, small pastures and quiet lanes that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still leans heavily on farming but is boosted by tourism and strong community activity; the village is best known for its annual scarecrow festival which draws visitors from across the region. Social life revolves around a handful of community institutions - village hall, pub and local events - giving it a close‑knit, village character while retaining a clear sense of rural heritage.
