West Lancashire
In West Lancashire visitors will discover a whole range of unspoilt treasures. From historic, bustling market towns to colourful attractions, there really is something for everyone to enjoy. Come and listen to stories of ghosts and Viking legends, visit the medieval halls or just enjoy a walk in the vast woodlands and open countryside. Local visitor attractions offer fun for all the family, and traditional pubs complement the upmarket restaurants that can be found in the many pretty villages that each have their own story to tell.
Ormskirk and Skelmersdale are West Lancashire’s main towns, both busy centres for shopping and commerce. The thriving market town of Ormskirk lies at the heart of West Lancashire. With Viking origins, and a market that dates back hundreds of years, the town’s special mix of character and history means modern shopping outlets combine with traditional attractions to give visitors the best of both worlds.
The district’s many charming villages each enjoy their own atmosphere and history offering attractions, such as Rufford Old Hall and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Martin Mere. Many villages still recognise the traditions of holding village events and walks, with annual galas and carnivals to celebrate local community and traditions.
