 From Weeton a road goes west through Mythop to Marton and Blackpool, another east to Greenhalgh and another south to Great Plumpton.The main road from Preston to Fleetwood runs north-west through the parish and the branch line to Blackpool crosses the south-west corner (cutting beneath the Mythop Road, south-east of Westfield Cottages).The place-name Weeton — first recorded in the Domesday Book as "Widetun" — derives from the Old English "wiðig" (willow) and "-tūn" (settlement).
