Whittington is a small village and civil parish in Lancashire, England with a population of 375.". It is in the Upper Lune Valley ward of Lancaster City Council and the Lancaster Rural East division of Lancashire County Council.
Whittington forms part of a cluster of sites along the Lune valley, each with evidence of a motte – as with Melling and Arkholme. This is the densest distribution of Norman castles outside the Welsh border countryside.
St Michael's Church dates from the 13th century.[2]
Whittington Hall is a large 5-acre (20,000 m2) estate surrounding a grand hall with many outbuildings. It was rebuilt in 1840, by Thomas Greene, M.P. for Lancaster.[2]
