The village and civil parish of Woodplumpton sits in the district of Preston in Lancashire, England. It occupies the flat arable plain to the east of the Ribble estuary, a short drive from Preston city centre, and is characterised by small lanes, scattered farms and pockets of older stone and brick cottages.
Historically an agricultural community - the placename hints at a “plum‑tree farm” origin - the local economy remains rooted in farming though many residents now commute to nearby towns. Community life is centred on the village church, hall and occasional events, and the parish is popular with walkers and anyone seeking a quieter rural base while staying within easy reach of urban amenities.
