Large
village about three miles (5km) to the east of Lancaster.
Caton-with-Littledale to give it it's full name is a civil parish
in the City of Lancaster. The main A683 road runs through the
village not far from Junction 34 on the M6 Motorway. The large

the United Kingdom.
A curious feature in Caton is the Caton (or Druid's) Oak which stands atop the Fish Stones. The remains of the tree is now reinforced by a metal support which was erected in 1998. The tree was used by the monks of Cockersand Abbey to display salmon for sale in medieval times.
There are two pubs in Caton, The Ship Inn and the Station. Nearby Littledale has the Black Bull. The main shop is the Co-Op Food store and there is a garage. Church services take place at Caton Methodist Church and Caton Baptist Church.
Nearby is the Crook O'Lune where there is a picnic site and a caravan park.
