Welcome to Walton Summit

Walton Summit is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Preston and is known for its industrial heritage. The village was once home to a number of factories and mills, which played a significant role in the local economy. Today, many of these buildings have been converted into modern business parks, providing employment opportunities for the local community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Walton Summit is the Ribble Link, a canal that connects the Lancaster Canal to the River Ribble. The canal was built in the 19th century and was an important transportation route for goods and materials. Today, it is a popular destination for boaters and walkers, offering scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The canal is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons.

Despite its industrial past, Walton Summit is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is located close to the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is known for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. Visitors can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, and birdwatching. With its rich history and natural beauty, Walton Summit is a unique and fascinating destination that is well worth a visit.
