Nestled within West Lancashire in the North West of England, to the north of Ormskirk and Skelmersdale, lies Burscough. This quaint village is home to Hamlet of Talscough and Burscough wharf, along with many amenities including several pubs and restaurants, a convenience store and a supermarket. The Leeds and Liverpool canal passes through the parish, along with the Southport to Wigan and the Preston to Liverpool rail lines. The surrounding area is best explored on foot or bike, particularly along the beautiful Leeds Liverpool Canal and the Wetlands and Waterways walk, which starts at Burscough Bridge railway station and loops you around some of the flattest land in West Lancashire. If you’re seeking family friendly activities, Burscough is also home to the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's reserve at Martin Mere, a marshland refuge and nature reserve of international importance, which offers year-round attractions.
