Farington is a civil parish in the borough of South Ribble, in Lancashire, lying immediately east of the town of Leyland and within easy reach of Preston. The area combines small villages and residential streets with stretches of farmland and green buffers, giving a semi-rural feel despite its proximity to larger urban centres.
Historically agricultural, the parish has close ties to the industrial history of nearby Leyland, and today supports a mix of housing, light industry and logistics employers thanks to good road and rail connections (including the West Coast Main Line nearby). Local life tends to be village-focused, with modest community facilities and a quiet, commuter-friendly character.
