Garstang is a historic market town located north of Preston, often described as one of the first “Fairtrade towns” in the UK and known for its strong community identity and traditional character. Positioned between Preston and Lancaster, and close to the edge of the Forest of Bowland, it offers a distinctive blend of town living and access to surrounding countryside.

The town centre is centred around a traditional high street, with independent shops, cafés and a regular market contributing to a well-established and community-led environment. Compared to larger towns in Lancashire, Garstang has a quieter and more self-contained feel, making it particularly attractive to those looking for a more relaxed pace of life.

For many buyers, Garstang offers the appeal of a market town lifestyle combined with practical access to nearby urban centres.
