Scotforth is a civil parish and a suburb in the south of the city of Lancaster, Lancashire, England. It is home to Scotforth St. Paul's Church of England Primary School and St. Paul's C. of E. Church. The parish of Scotforth had a population of 39 recorded in the 2001 census, [1]

Parts of Lancaster were made up of several villages; Scotforth used to be a separate village. You can still see some of the village's original terraces on parts of Hala Road and Scotforth Road.

Scotforth is also famous in video game circles as being the inspiration for the 'Green Hill Zone' levels in the first Sonic the Hedgehog game.
