Humblescough Farm

From fishing to hiking, rollercoasters to canal boats, cities to countryside, there's lots to do here in lovely Lancs. Humblescough Farm is in a most lucky location: it's close to the coast as well as cities like Blackpool, Preston and Lancaster, and near both Beacon Fell County Park and the Forest of Bowland. Fishing lakes and clay shooting are both close to the farm. The closest town to your peaceful base is Garstang, lying halfway between Preston to the south and Lancashire to the north, about 10 miles from each. This was the world's first Fairtrade Town, so those who'd guess there'd be a decent handful of decent shops in town would be bang on; café, restaurant and pub people should see themselves sorted too. Walkwise, head out of town along the River Wyre or Lancaster Canal. Lancashire moorland, fells and villages are all within easy driving distance, as is the coastline of Morecambe Bay, a popular spot for scenery seekers and birdwatchers. Blackpool is also a bright idea for a day trip: Sandcastle Water Park is the biggest indoors waterpark in the country if you want to do something under a roof.
