About

Skerton ward is located north of the River Lune, directly across from Lancaster's historic city centre. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraced housing and more modern developments. Its main thoroughfare is Owen Road, which serves as a local commercial strip with independent shops and services. The ward includes the neighbourhood of Ryelands Park, featuring extensive green space and sports facilities.

The area is defined by its riverfront, with Skerton Bridge providing a key pedestrian and vehicular link to the city. The bridge itself is a notable structure, a late 18th-century stone arch design. Local life often centres around community institutions like the Lune Park playground and the Ryelands House community centre. The ward maintains a distinct identity separate from, yet connected to, the city across the water.
