Broughton sits just north of Preston, where the city’s suburbs begin to give way to the more open landscapes of the Fylde and the Wyre. For a long time, the village was defined by the heavy traffic of the A6, but things changed significantly a few years ago with the opening of the bypass, which has returned a sense of quiet to the old crossroads at the centre. Despite recent residential growth, it still feels rooted in its history, anchored by the parish church of St John the Baptist and the distinctive grammar school, which traces its origins back to the 16th century. It is a practical spot for getting around, being effectively on the doorstep of the M6 and M55, yet you can be out walking by the River Brock or heading toward the Forest of Bowland in twenty minutes. There is a straightforward, settled feel to the place, offering a bit of breathing room while staying firmly connected to the amenities of the city.
