Claughton is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Wyre, in rural Lancashire, England. It sits on the agricultural edge of the landscape, with rolling fields, scattered farmsteads and pockets of woodland, and lies within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and nearby market towns.
The area is traditionally agricultural and retains many stone-built cottages and farm buildings, but its economy now mixes farming with commuters travelling to larger centres such as Garstang, Blackpool and Lancaster. Community life is quietly active, centred on local events and the village hall, and the parish preserves a sense of history through long-established houses and rural traditions.
