About

Mount ward encompasses a rural section of the Wyre district in Lancashire, centred around the villages of Scorton and Nateby. The area is defined by its agricultural landscape and proximity to the expansive Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The terrain includes flat farmland from the River Wyre floodplain rising towards low fells, supporting sheep farming and providing walking routes.

The ward's community life is anchored by its village halls and local pubs, which serve as social hubs. Scorton is known for its annual village fair and its historic priory, which now functions as a parish church. The area's quiet character is shaped by its position away from major roads, with the Lancaster Canal offering a linear route for recreation and wildlife along its southern edge.
