About

The Lea & Marina area sits in the northern part of Preston, defined by the Lancaster Canal and the River Ribble. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types from terraced streets to modern developments. Its layout is shaped by waterways and green corridors, including the expansive Haslam Park with its playing fields and mature trees.

A defining characteristic is the large, secluded marina basin off the canal, lined with narrowboats and offering a distinct waterside atmosphere. This focus on inland waterways supports local boating and walking along the towpaths. The area functions as a quiet, self-contained community, with local shops and schools serving its residents, separate from the city's central bustle.
