Barton is a small civil parish on the outskirts of Preston in Lancashire, England, sitting where the city's suburban edge meets open countryside. The landscape is largely agricultural with scattered woodlands and hedgerows, and residents enjoy easy access to riverside walks along the River Ribble and nearby country lanes.
Historically the area has been farming country and that character remains, with a mix of traditional farmsteads, newer commuter homes and a modest local community life centred on village amenities and occasional events. Its proximity to Preston means many people work in the city while appreciating the parish’s quieter, rural feel.
