About

Breck ward occupies the eastern section of Wyre borough, stretching inland from the rural fringes near Garstang. The area is characterised by scattered farming communities and smaller settlements like Nateby and St. Michael's on Wyre, set within a landscape of agricultural fields and quiet lanes. It contains portions of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, influencing its open and protected scenery.

The ward's geography is defined by the River Wyre, which meanders through its parishes, shaping the low-lying farmland. The historic St. Michael's Church, standing near a noted ancient yew tree, overlooks the river. This is a predominantly agricultural area, with its economy and land use centred on farming, offering a quiet, rural environment distinct from the coastal parts of the borough.
