About

Calder ward occupies the southern portion of Wyre, bordering the River Wyre to its north. The area is primarily defined by the substantial village of Garstang, which serves as its main settlement and commercial hub. The landscape is largely agricultural, with farmland and smaller hamlets spread across the ward's territory. Transport routes, including the M6 motorway and the West Coast Main Line, pass through this part of the district.

The ward includes the communities of Bonds, Bowgreave, and Barnacre-with-Bonds. Garstang's historic market charter and its position on the River Wyre have long influenced local development. The Lancaster Canal runs through the area, with Garstang's stretch noted for its traditional canal basin and towpath walks. This inland setting distinguishes it from Wyre's coastal wards to the west.
