Upper Lune Valley

Upper Lune Valley ward encompasses a primarily rural area along the River Lune, northwest of Lancaster city. The landscape is characterised by farmland, woodland, and scattered villages such as Caton and Brookhouse. The ward includes sections of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its distinctive heather-covered fells. The geography is defined by the river's course and the surrounding valley slopes, shaping local settlement patterns.

The area is known for its historical connections to the textile industry, with remnants of mills located along the waterways. The Crook o' Lune, a famous horseshoe bend in the river, is a noted local landmark for walking and views. Community life is centred on the villages, with local amenities serving the resident population. Transport routes, including the A683 road, follow the natural path of the valley through the ward.
