Welcome to Scorton

Scorton is a small village located in the Wyre district of Lancashire, England. The village is situated on the A6 road, which connects Lancaster and Preston. Scorton is a picturesque village with a rich history and a vibrant community. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

One of the main attractions in Scorton is the Scorton Village Store and Café. The store is a community-run enterprise that sells a range of locally sourced produce, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products. The café serves delicious homemade cakes and sandwiches, as well as hot drinks and snacks. The store and café are popular with locals and visitors alike, and they are a great place to stop for a bite to eat or to pick up some supplies for a picnic.

Another popular attraction in Scorton is the Wyre Way, a long-distance footpath that runs through the village.
