Little Marton, Lancashire Weather
About Little Marton, Lancashire
Little Marton claims a quiet corner of the Fylde peninsula, where the flat, expansive horizon of Lancashire meets the encroaching sprawl of the coast. It lies 2.8 miles east-south-east of Blackpool (from Blackpool: bearing 116°T, OS grid SD 348 345), and is situated south of Staining village. The wind here carries the salt-tang of the Irish Sea, brushing over the low-lying fields that once formed part of a much larger, ancient marshland. A short distance to the north, the reed beds of Marton Mere shimmer under the shifting grey light of the North West, serving as a vital sanctuary for wildfowl. From the timber-framed viewing platform across the mere, one can watch the water darken as evening settles, turning the surface into a sheet of polished slate. This proximity to the Site of Special Scientific Interest lends Little Marton a wilder character than its proximity to urban Blackpool might suggest. The landscape remains stubbornly open, defined by the heavy, moisture-laden skies that seem to press down upon the remaining agricultural pockets. Even as the modern world pushes outward, Little Marton retains a persistent, earthy stillness that resists the restless hum of the nearby transit routes.
