A regular winner of the Lancashire Best Kept Village awards,
Waddington has an Anglican Church, St. Helens as well a a Methodist
church.
The village green has a water pump and is bordered by Waddington Almshouses.
Waddington Brook flows through the heart of the village.
Nearby is Waddow Hall, set in 178 acres (72ha) of estate, it serves as a conference and activity centre for Girlguiding UK which has managed it since 1927.
Drinkers have a choice of three pubs here, the Higher Buck, Lower Buck and Waddington Arms. Sadly the Moorcock on the road leading from the village up to Waddington Fell closed some years ago and has since been demolished. There is also a social club, a bowling green and a Post Office. Cricket and football are regularly played on the playing field.
