About

Pilling ward encompasses a rural coastal area at the northern tip of the Wyre district. Its landscape is dominated by extensive agricultural land, salt marshes, and the tidal channels of the River Cocker and River Wyre. The village of Pilling itself serves as the main settlement, with smaller hamlets scattered throughout the flat, open farmland. The ward's western boundary is formed by Morecambe Bay, providing a long shoreline that influences the local environment.

This is a sparsely populated area defined by its agricultural character and coastal ecology. The land is protected by a notable sea defence, the Pilling Embankment, which holds back the tides to preserve the productive fields. Much of the coastline is part of a designated nature reserve, important for overwintering bird populations. The local economy has long been connected to farming and fishing, with a pattern of life closely tied to the rhythms of the land and sea.
