Poulton-Le-Fylde
- The Ancient market town of Poulton-Le-Fylde, with its medieval stocks and St Chads Church, attracts visitors year after year. Poulton's fascinating history can be uncovered on the popular town trail - a relaxing walk around the town which encompasses the Old Town Hall, eighteenth century coaching inns and a selection of beautifully preserved houses and chapels.

Garstang - Garstang is a small market town, located in Lancashire where a main north-south road crosses the Wyre. The name of the town probably comes from the Saxon word "Gaerstung" (meaning common or meadow land). In the Doomsday Survey of 1086 it is described as "Cherestanc". In 1314 King Edward II granted a Charter for a market to be held in the town.

On the outskirts are the ruins of Greenhalgh Castle, built by Thomas Stanley, the Earl of Derby in 1490. In the end it fell to Cromwellian forces during the English Civil Wars
