About

The area around Croston and Mawdesley lies on the flat, agricultural plain of West Lancashire, characterised by patchwork fields and drainage ditches. The landscape is dominated by farming, with the villages acting as quiet residential hubs. The River Yarrow and its network of tributaries meander through the land, influencing the rural road layout.

A historic raised causeway, known as the "Moss Road," traverses the former peat bog of Martin Mere, connecting the settlements. Croston retains a traditional village centre with its church and cobbled streets, while the surrounding mossland is a noted area for wintering wildfowl and wetland birds.
