Garstang

Garstang is a pleasant small market town about 10 miles north of Preston. It has a narrow main street with several small local shops including a couple of art shops, a small local artist gallery, jewellers, clothing, car maintenance, health food shop, pet food, newsagents, banks, cafes, pubs and restaurants. There are also 2 largish supermarkets: Booths and Sainsbury's. The main street has a market building and there is a street market every Thursday.

There are 2 main car parks. The one near the river can be the base for several decent walks into the country along the river or along the Lancaster Canal. It can also be used just to feed the ducks or take a short stroll by the river.
