Lathom South is a small civil parish in the district of West Lancashire, in the county of Lancashire, England. It sits on the low-lying agricultural plain characteristic of the area, with a patchwork of farms, hedgerows and scattered dwellings rather than a single large village, and lies within easy reach of towns such as Ormskirk and Skelmersdale.
The parish has strong historic ties to the wider Lathom estate and nearby Lathom House, and its landscape still reflects an agricultural economy even as many residents commute to nearby centres for work. Local life is quietly community‑focused, with nearby canals, woodlands and public footpaths providing recreational opportunities and a sense of continuity with the county’s rural and historic heritage.
