Elswick is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Fylde, in Lancashire, England. It sits on the flat agricultural plain of the Fylde, a few miles inland from the Ribble Estuary and the Irish Sea, and is within easy commuting distance of Blackpool and Preston.
Historically a farming community, Elswick still retains a rural character with farmsteads and hedgerows and a village social life centred on the parish church, village hall and local pub; in recent decades many residents commute to nearby towns while the wider tourism and manufacturing economy of the Fylde coast influences local employment.
