About

Preesall ward sits on the northern bank of the River Wyre estuary, characterised by its flat, reclaimed mossland landscape. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing developments and older properties spread across the main settlements of Preesall and Knott End-on-Sea. The local economy has historical ties to salt mining, though agriculture and commuting to larger nearby towns are now more common. A network of quiet lanes and footpaths crosses the agricultural fields.

The western edge of the ward is defined by the wide tidal estuary, with Knott End featuring a ferry slipway and views across to Fleetwood. This riverside location supports birdlife and walking along the coastal path. The area maintains a distinct, separate identity from the more tourist-focused centres elsewhere in Wyre, with a focus on local community facilities and services. The vast, open skies and expansive horizon over the water are a defining feature of the landscape here.
