Pilling is a rural ward on the coastal edge of the Fylde peninsula in the Borough of Wyre, Lancashire, England, overlooking Morecambe Bay. The landscape is largely flat and reclaimed farmland with salt marshes and tidal sands, giving the area its distinctive coastal scenery and rich birdlife; it lies within easy commuting distance of Fleetwood, Poulton‑le‑Fylde and Blackpool.
Locally the economy is centred on agriculture and small, village‑scale businesses, and a strong community life is sustained by parish institutions, halls and clubs. The ward’s character is shaped by a long history of land reclamation and coastal trade, and its mix of traditional cottages, farmsteads and open marshland makes it popular with walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
