Garstang, Lancashire

There's lots to see and do in Lancashire. A hot air balloon flight may be perfect for a birthday gift or special celebration.

The market town of Garstang is east of the A6, about 8 miles north of Preston and 8 miles south of Lancaster. The hills and fells of the Bleasdale Moors are a few miles east of the town. They look attractive when viewed from Garstang, especially after snow-fall. The River Wyre flows from the north past the Flood Controls and the ruins of Greenhalgh Castle, down the east side of Garstang. The Lancaster Canal flows south of the town centre towards the west and north to Galgate. The villages of Churchtown, Catterall and St. Michaels are to the south of Garstang and Cabus and Scorton are to the north.

This area is known for production of Lancashire cheeses. The area is also popular with walkers. Local legends claim that King Charles II stayed overnight in Garstang during the English Civil War.
