Medlar-with-Wesham is a small ward and parish on the flat, fertile plains of the Fylde in western Lancashire, England, lying a short drive from the seaside resort of Blackpool and the city of Preston. The landscape is typically low-lying and agricultural, with the settlement clustered around the railway and main road, and it benefits from good transport links via Kirkham and Wesham station on the line between Preston and the coast.
Historically the area expanded with the arrival of the railway and retains a village feel despite modern housing and light industry nearby; local life combines commuter households with long-established farming and independent shops. Community amenities, parish activities and occasional local events give it a friendly, small‑town atmosphere while being within easy reach of larger employment and leisure centres on the Fylde coast.
