Broughton is a small village and civil parish just to the north-east of Preston in Lancashire, England. It lies close enough to the Ribble estuary and the M55 to feel rural yet well connected, so many residents commute into Preston or to nearby towns while enjoying countryside views.
Historically an agricultural settlement, Broughton still shows that heritage alongside more recent housing; the village maintains a parish church, primary school, village hall and small shops. The community stages local events and clubs, and its position near estuary and open countryside makes it popular with walkers and birdwatchers while offering easy access to the amenities of the city.
