Carleton is a small village in the Borough of Wyre, Lancashire, England, lying just to the north‑east of Poulton‑le‑Fylde and a short drive from Blackpool and the Wyre estuary. Set on the flat coastal plain of the Fylde, it benefits from easy road links to Preston and nearby seaside resorts while retaining a semi‑rural character.
Historically an agricultural settlement, Carleton has become largely residential with a mix of older farmhouses and 19th–20th century housing; the local economy is now driven by services and commuters. The village retains community amenities such as shops, pubs and clubs, enjoys access to coastal and marshland walking, and has a quiet local identity rooted in its rural and historic roots.
