Middleton is a village and civil parish in the City of Lancaster in Lancashire, England, between Heysham and Overton. It had a population of just 705 in 2011. Middleton was the location of Middleton Tower Holiday Camp, which opened in August 1939, and was owned by Pontin's from July 1955 until its closure in October 1994. The holiday camp was then redeveloped as a gated community, with bungalows and flats by January 2008.
