About

Burscough sits on the flat, agricultural landscape of West Lancashire, its development historically tied to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the railway. The area is characterised by a mix of residential streets, local commerce along the main roads, and surrounding farmland. The canal remains a functional waterway, with boats moored along its banks and several traditional bridges crossing its path.

The area's history is visibly rooted in transport and agriculture. Burscough Junction, where two railway lines meet, underscores this legacy. Large, modern garden centres have become a notable local feature, drawing visitors from across the region to their extensive retail spaces set against the open skyline.
