Elswick is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Fylde, Lancashire, England, sitting on the flat agricultural plain characteristic of the area. It lies within easy reach of market towns such as Kirkham and the city of Preston, with the resort of Blackpool and the coast a short drive away, so it blends rural tranquillity with good access to larger centres.
The village retains strong farming and market-garden roots alongside a growing number of residents who commute to nearby towns, giving a mixed local economy. Historically agricultural in character, Elswick has scattered older buildings and a sense of continuity, and community life centres on local clubs, the parish amenities and outdoor pursuits - walking, birdwatching and enjoying the nearby coastal reserves feature strongly for residents and visitors alike.
