Elswick, Singleton & Weeton

Elswick, Singleton and Weeton form a group of villages and hamlets in the Borough of Fylde, Lancashire, set on the Fylde coastal plain. The area sits between the market town of Kirkham and the city of Preston and is crossed by a network of lanes and footpaths that link farms, small woodlands and pockets of housing. Land use remains largely agricultural, with field patterns and hedgerows that reflect long-established farming on flat, drained soil. The parish boundary and local lanes provide direct routes to neighbouring parishes without relying on larger trunk roads.

Local life centres on village halls, parish activities and services in nearby towns, with daily journeys often made by car or local train. Weeton is served by a railway station on the line linking Preston and the Fylde coast, giving residents an outward rail option without needing to travel to a major hub. Patterns of settlement are compact, and views across the plain make the line and level fields a recurring element in the local landscape.
