Where is Lancashire?
Lancashire is a county of North West England which borders Cumbria to the north, Greater Manchester and Merseyside to the south, and North and West Yorkshire to the east. It also enjoys a gorgeous western coastline looking out onto the Irish Sea.
Why live in Lancashire?
Lancashire offers an attractive mix of picturesque rural living, but with lots of big cities on your doorstep. If you want to commute to the likes of Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds, while enjoying natural beauty all around you at home, Lancashire is a great option.
There’s also plenty of variety of living environments and lifestyles within the county itself. There’s Preston and Lancaster as the main urban centres, not to mention the ever-popular seaside town of Blackpool.
Further away from the big towns and suburbs, you’ll find no end of pretty villages and hamlets nestled into the Lancashire countryside. The coastline is also full of popular locations, ranging from bigger towns like Morecambe and Lytham St Anne’s, to more modest Silverdale. The latter is part of Arnside and Silverdale, one of Lancashire’s two areas of outstanding natural beauty. The other is the Forest of Bowland.
There’s also excellent coverage of both ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ Ofsted-rated schools across much of the county. This, together with the beautiful surroundings, rich heritage and friendly people, makes Lancashire a prime spot for families.
