This hamlet is no more than a few houses and farmsteads dotting the hillside between the 15th century church and the River Lune, where in past times basket makers cropped local willows to boil and store for peeling and weaving later in the year.
It was also well known for its Pudding Festival; a massive plum pudding was boiled after the willow preparation, but only once every 21 years. The tradition died out in 1887 but was revived in the early 1970s, with Aughton having its very own Pudding Queen!
