Longridge

The market town of Longridge commands a view of the whole of the Fylde Plain.

From the top of Longridge Fell it is possible to see the Welsh Mountains, the Isle of Man, Ingleborough and the Loud Valley.

Cromwell and his army passed this way on their way to the battle of Preston.

Longridge is the shopping and social centre of the local farming district and has an interesting mixture of shops and antique galleries, which attract customers from all over the region. Set in glorious countryside this is understandably a popular starting point for country walks and cycle rides.
