Woodplumpton is a village and parish in the English county of Lancashire, located five miles north of Preston. It is part of the Fylde, a flat area of land between the Forest of Bowland and the Lancashire coast. The village contains a primary school, a shop, a pub (the Wheatsheaf) and a church. The church (St. Anne's Church of England) is the location of the grave of Meg Shelton, the notorious "Fylde Hag" - buried there in the late 17th century after being accused of witchcraft.

The parish of Woodplumpton includes the villages of Eaves, Catforth and Lower Bartle. It also formerly included Higher Plumpton. [ [http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Woodplumpton Woodplumpton at GENUKI] ]
