Woodplumpton is a long-established village and civil parish situated about five miles north of Preston, nestled within the undulating landscape of the Fylde. It maintains a distinct, traditional character, centred around its red-brick cottages and the historic St Anne’s Church, whose churchyard is famously home to the supposed grave of the 17th-century 'witch' Meg Shelton. Geographically, the area is defined by its network of quiet lanes and the Woodplumpton Brook, which meanders through the village. For practical daily life, the parish includes the nearby hamlet of Catforth and sits within easy reach of the Broughton interchange, providing straightforward access to the M6 and M55 for those heading towards the Lake District or the coast. While the village itself remains largely residential and rural, the local primary school and the Wheatsheaf pub serve as the primary hubs for the community, preserving a sense of self-contained village life despite its proximity to the expanding northern suburbs of the city.
