About

Longridge South is a residential area situated on the southern slopes of Longridge Fell. The housing here is primarily a mix of post-war semis and more recent developments, with streets offering elevated views over the surrounding farmland. It serves as a practical residential extension to the larger market town of Longridge, providing local amenities and good transport links.

The area is defined by its proximity to open countryside, with footpaths leading directly onto the fell. A notable local feature is the disused Tootle Heights Quarry, now a wooded area popular for walks. The community is served by several schools and shops along Berry Lane, with easy access to the M6 motorway for commuting to Preston and beyond.
