Croston Lancashire Map

About Croston

Croston breathes a quiet dignity, a Lancashire village where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant fields. It lies 6.1 km west-south-west of Leyland (from Leyland: bearing 240°T, OS grid SD 488 186), and is situated south-east of Bretherton village. The River Yarrow meanders close by, its gentle flow a constant murmur against the green expanse, reflecting the pale, often dramatic, Lancashire sky. Its heart beats around a broad market place, where the stones underfoot have felt the tread of generations, and the ancient parish church of St Michael and All Angels stands sentinel, its tower a familiar landmark against the horizon. Though its agricultural roots remain, Croston has also seen the quiet hum of local industry, a testament to the enduring spirit of its people.
