Haighton is a civil parish in the City of Preston, Lancashire, England. It is a rural area north east of the urban city of Preston, beyond Fulwood and Brookfield.

## Geography[edit]

Haighton also contains the hamlets of Haighton Green and Haighton Top. It is separated from the city by the M6 motorway, with junction 31A on the boundary with Brookfield.

## Community[edit]

The area was intended to become a residential suburb as part of the Central Lancashire New Town, with population increasing to 29,100 by 2001[1] however it never occurred and the area has remained rural. It has a population of 197,[2] increasing to 202 at the 2011 Census.[3]

## Economy[edit]

The listed building of Haighton Manor[4][circular reference] has operated as a country pub and restaurant since the early 1970s, undergoing substantial renovation in the mid 2010s and now operated by Brunning and Price.

## History[edit]

The parish was part of Preston Rural District throughout its existence from 1894 to 1974.[5] In 1974 the parish became part of the Borough of Preston, which became a city in 2002.
