About Forton

Forton, a tranquil hamlet in Lancashire, offers a quiet corner of the Wyre district. It lies 5.8 km north of Garstang (from Garstang: bearing 357°T, OS grid SD 489 512), and is situated south-east of Potters Brook village. The landscape around Forton gently unfurls, a patchwork of fields often bathed in the soft, diffused light characteristic of the North West, lending a subtle, pearly sheen to the verdant pastures. A sense of enduring peace pervades the air, an almost palpable stillness broken only by the whisper of the breeze through the hedgerows and the distant lowing of cattle. The village itself presents a modest collection of dwellings, many retaining a pleasing, unpretentious charm, suggesting a long and unbroken lineage of inhabitants who have tended this land with quiet devotion. Though lacking grand monuments, the very texture of the lanes and the solid, unassuming nature of its buildings speak of a continuity that is both reassuring and deeply felt.
