The Good Things About Burton
Burton is a really peaceful place. It's covered in hills and forests and has a really good community. It has a church, a shop, a community centre and a school. I lived in number 8 Low Street for about 8 years and loved every day. In the winter it was beautiful with the fields white with snow, and the walk through the park is really nice. It is ten minutes away from Kirkby Lonsdale and about 45 away from Lancaster. It is a beautiful village, peaceful and lively and I recommend it to everyone.

Burton School
