About Westhead

Westhead, a quiet hamlet in Lancashire, breathes the soft air of the North West. It lies 2.8 km east-south-east of Ormskirk (from Ormskirk: bearing 104°T, OS grid SD 442 076), and is situated north-west of Blaguegate village. The land around Westhead falls away in gentle, arable slopes, often catching the low afternoon sun in a glaze of gold, painting the fields with a fleeting richness. Though small, Westhead possesses a certain grounded stillness, a feeling that the centuries have worn smooth the edges of its existence, leaving a quiet contentment. The hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose in season, form green arteries through the landscape, hinting at a deep, agricultural past. A sense of enduring peace pervades, a quietude that seems to seep from the very soil, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and ripening crops.
