Lancashire transport links

There are excellent transport links right across Lancashire, whether you need to catch a tram, train, plane, bus or ferry. If you have a car, the M6, M55, M58 and M61 motorways all pass through the county, while the M62 runs just to the south of the border. 

Jump in the car to head to nearby Manchester or Liverpool, or take a boat over to the Isle of Man. Meanwhile, rail services to London take just over two hours from places like Preston. 

The Lancashire property scene

The North West has seen a healthy rise in property prices in recent years, and Lancashire has been a driving factor of that trend. Preston has been identified as a hotspot for investment, and it’s little wonder with some of the properties available in the area. Choose from 3 and 4 bedroom homes on the edge of open countryside in the northern suburb of Fulwood, as well as contemporary homes to the west of town in Kirkham and Warton, and 2, 3 and 4 beds surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes in Longridge. 

Whether Preston’s the place for you, or you’d rather be close to the Forest of Bowland in a large 5 bed detached home in Garstang, or an attractive stone-fronted house on the edge of Clitheroe, don’t miss offers such as our Movemaker scheme.
