Rural North Fylde

About

Rural North Fylde is a ward in the Fylde district of Lancashire, characterised by its open countryside and small villages. The area is primarily agricultural, with farmland and hedgerows dominating the landscape. Settlements like Singleton and Greenhalgh are scattered throughout, featuring traditional stone cottages and quiet lanes. The ward is bordered by the River Wyre to the north and the M55 motorway to the south, providing connections to nearby towns.

The ward includes areas of natural interest, such as parts of the Fylde Coastal Plain and the Wyre Estuary. Local amenities are limited, with most services found in larger nearby towns like Poulton-le-Fylde. The rural setting attracts walkers and cyclists, with quiet roads and footpaths linking the villages. Farming remains a key part of the local economy, though some residents commute to urban centres for work.
