Garstang ward covers the market town itself along with several surrounding villages, including Catterall, Churchtown, and Bonds. The area is defined by the River Wyre and the Lancaster Canal, which run through its centre. The town's historic core features a traditional high street with independent shops and a weekly market, reflecting its long-standing role as a commercial hub for the local agricultural community.

A notable structure is the 18th-century stone bridge crossing the river, a protected monument that has shaped the town's layout for centuries. The ward contains a mix of farmland, residential estates, and small industrial units. Garstang's community facilities include multiple schools, sports clubs, and the prominent St. Thomas' Church, which overlooks the river from its elevated position.
