Penwortham South

Penwortham South lies on the western bank of the River Ribble, directly opposite the city of Preston. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments. Its main thoroughfare is Liverpool Road, which carries local traffic and provides essential retail services. The community is served by several primary schools and local shops, creating a self-contained neighbourhood feel distinct from the urban centre across the river.

A significant green space is Hurst Grange Park, which offers recreational fields, a bowling green, and walks along the river's edge. The area's topography includes a noticeable slope down towards the riverbank. Local infrastructure includes the vital Penwortham Bypass, which routes through traffic away from the residential streets. The distinct, curved alignment of the old Liverpool Road bridge approach remains a visible feature in the landscape near the river.
