Laughton en le Morthen sits on top of a commanding hill - commanding all the better in times gone by with a motte and bailey castle and a soaring church spire visible from many miles away. Today the coal mining industry that used to dominate the surrounding landscape has gone and light industry is gradually taking its place. Farming enjoys fertile conditions for arable crops.
