Rural South ward in West Lancashire covers a predominantly agricultural area, characterised by open farmland and small villages. The landscape is marked by fields, hedgerows, and scattered woodlands, with a mix of arable and livestock farming. Settlements like Banks and Hesketh Bank are focal points, offering local amenities while retaining a quiet, countryside atmosphere. The ward’s proximity to the Ribble Estuary adds a coastal element, with marshlands and wildlife habitats.
Transport links include the A59, connecting the area to Preston and Southport, while rural lanes serve local travel. The ward has a strong community feel, with events often centred around village halls and churches. Despite its rural nature, it remains within commuting distance of larger towns, balancing isolation with accessibility. The area appeals to those seeking a quieter lifestyle, with outdoor activities like walking and birdwatching popular among residents.
