Aughton is a largely residential village and parish in West Lancashire, Lancashire, England, lying just to the north-west of Ormskirk and within easy commuting distance of Liverpool. It occupies gently rolling agricultural land on the West Lancashire Plain, with a mix of historic houses, cottages and more modern suburban properties; local rail links at Town Green and Aughton Park help keep it well connected.
Once predominantly agricultural, the area now balances farming with a commuter population and a small local economy of shops, pubs and schools. Community life is lively, with sports clubs, village societies and a historic parish church and several listed buildings that reflect the locality’s long history and rural character in Lancashire.
