Warton sits close by and is linked by local lanes to the surrounding farmland and coast.

Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, adjacent to Silverdale, contains large reedbeds and is a wintering site for bitterns, served by hides and boardwalks. Warton Aerodrome occupies the village edge and is used for aircraft testing and maintenance.
