This well-connected village lies in northern Lancashire, and from beautiful local scenery to delicious restaurants – we’ve discovered why Catterall is the ideal place to call home.
Rural to Cosmopolitan
Catterall is the ideal peaceful retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Located within easy reach of the M6 for commuters, the village itself is a quiet, rural haven with a strong community feel. But don’t be thinking that this means that there’s nothing to do – only a half hour drive away is the bustling city of Preston, brimming with museums, art galleries and theatres.
Little Italy
If you’re a lover of pizza, pasta and all things Italian (let’s be honest, who isn’t?) then Catterall is the place for you. The village boasts a wealth of highly rated restaurants within easy walking distance of Beacon Park. The Slice of Sicily restaurant is less than half a mile away from Joe Lane. Brimming with traditional dishes such as ragú topped pappardelle and thin crispy pizzas, they also offer more adventurous plates like chickpea fritters, rich lamb shank in a Sicilian Marsala sauce and baked tomato and garlic seabass – ideal for families and foodies alike.
Take a Hike
Catterall benefits from being a stone’s throw away from one of England’s most stunning Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Forest of Bowland. Only two miles away from the Forest’s boundaries, Catterall residents can take advantage of escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life and truly getting back to nature. There’s a whole host of walking and cycling routes – no matter how you like to make the most of the outdoors, there’s plenty for the whole family to enjoy. You can even go stargazing, enjoy local produce or visit farm parks – Catterall residents can simply pack up the car and head out into the forest in no time, pure bliss!
Solve a Mystery
The local area also runs many family friendly events to keep the little ones entertained. The famous Garstang Mystery Treasure Trail lets the kids release their inner Sherlock Holmes and take to the outdoors to solve a series of puzzles. Suitable for children from four to teens, the pirate themed trail takes around two hours to complete and goes all the way around the town and along scenic riversides, stopping at statues, signposts and monuments for clues. An ideal way to explore the local town whilst keeping the little ones entertained, we’re sure a stop off at Sweets of Garstang at the end will provide the ideal reward for the keen treasure hunters!
