About the Development
Garstang is town rich in tradition and history, with an ancient market going back 700 years and a proud community spirit that is still going strong to this day. Garstang goes the extra mile and it shows, achieving regular wins in the Britain in Bloom competition and breaking new ground as the world's first Fairtrade town.
Garstang is conveniently close to the thriving cities of Preston and Lancaster, yet is also within reach of the Forest of Bowland, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Lake District. Add in the lovely Lancashire countryside all around you, and the closeness of the Fylde coast and the town simply could not be better placed.
