Whittington is a small village and parish in northern Lancashire, adjacent to the border with Westmorland.
The village 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 countryside of the Welsh marches.
Whittington Hall is a large five-acre estate surrounding a grand hall with many out buildings
