Carleton is an electoral ward in the borough of Wyre, on the coastal plain of Lancashire in north‑west England. Sitting just outside Poulton-le-Fylde and a few miles from Blackpool and the Irish Sea, it occupies the flat, low‑lying countryside of the Fylde, with origins as a small village that expanded through Victorian and 20th‑century development.
Today Carleton is largely residential with a mix of period and post‑war housing, local shops, schools and community groups, while many residents commute to nearby towns and the seaside resort for work; small businesses and light industry sit around the ward’s edges. Its appeal is a village‑like feel combined with easy access to coastal and rural amenities, and historic links to the market town of Poulton-le-Fylde and the wider Wyre district.
