This unique village is situated in the Lower Lune Valley. The landscape ranges from hills and becks to the flat flood plain of the River Lune. The choice of terrain makes for varied walks and cycle rides where birds and wildlife abound. The parish comprises of bustling Caton, with its shops, pubs and garage.
Brookhouse, where the picturesque parish church resides, is in a quieter setting. Around the church and the Black Bull pub are narrow streets and old cottages - there's even a plague stone set in the bridge over Bull Beck.
The outlying area of the parish is Caton Green, set on a prominent rise with views over the valley, and Littledale set in a beautiful landscape of hills and becks which are some of the most stunning in Lancashire.
