Ormskirk is a tidy, red-brick market town nestled in West Lancashire, well known for its weekly market, beautiful buildings, and a calm pace of life. It strikes a nice balance between being busy enough to feel alive, but not so hectic that it loses its charm. With Edge Hill University giving the town a younger buzz and a strong farming and trading heritage beneath the surface, Ormskirk is full of character, with cobbled streets, quirky shops and a proper northern welcome.

The town has roots that go right back to the medieval period, with the market charter granted as far back as 1286. It grew as a centre for agriculture and trade, especially with Liverpool and Preston not too far away. One of Ormskirk's most unique features is its parish church—St Peter and St Paul's—which has both a tower and a spire, a rare sight in England. The population today is just over 24,000, though that number grows quite a bit during term time, thanks to the student population. It's a town that's moved with the times but never lost touch with where it came from.

There's plenty to see around town. Ormskirk Market, held twice a week, brings in traders and shoppers from all over, and the town centre's packed with cafés, boutiques, and old-school butchers and bakers. Coronation Park offers a peaceful break right in the centre, while Ruff Wood is just outside for woodland walks. The Chapel Gallery puts on local exhibitions and community events. Nearby, you've got National Trust gems like Rufford Old Hall, which is full of timber-framed charm and stories from centuries past. A little further out, Lydiate Hall's ruins and the remains of Burscough Priory add a hint of historical mystery. You can also explore the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpaths which wind their way quietly past fields and farms.

If you're looking to branch out, Lancashire gives you all sorts. The Ribble Estuary's nearby if you fancy a coastal wander, or you can head inland to the Forest of Bowland for wide open skies and proper countryside. Southport's a short drive for a bit of seaside with a Victorian twist, or you could head north to Clitheroe, Garstang or Longridge for market-town charm and scenic drives. Blackpool's not far either if you're in the mood for lights, piers and candy floss. There's a real mix on your doorstep.

Getting to and from Ormskirk's nice and straightforward. The town has a railway station at the edge of the centre with regular trains to Liverpool and connections via Preston to the rest of the country. It's close to the M58 and A59, giving quick access by car to motorways and the wider region. Liverpool John Lennon Airport is the nearest for flights, just under an hour away, and Manchester Airport isn't much further. Local buses link Ormskirk with nearby towns and villages, and there are cycle routes dotted around for getting about on two wheels.

Lancashire's a county that's full of contrast—seaside towns, market villages, rolling farmland and the grit of its industrial past. It's got history tucked into corners, friendly locals, and more green space than you might expect. There's still a real sense of tradition here, whether it's in a village pub or a market stall that's been in the family for generations. Ormskirk plays its part in that mix, with its blend of heritage and energy giving it a quiet confidence that's hard not to like.
