Whittington is a small village and civil parish in Lancashire, England. 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.
Whittington Hall is a large 5-acre (20,000 m) estate surrounding a grand hall with many outbuildings. It was rebuilt in 1840, by Thomas Greene, M.P. for Lancaster.
