Wrea Green is a small, picturesque village in the borough of Fylde, Lancashire, England, best known for its unusually large village green which contains a duck pond and a cricket square at its heart. The green is surrounded by attractive Georgian and Victorian houses and is largely preserved as a conservation area, giving the village a strongly rural, well‑kept character despite being close to larger towns.
Locally the community revolves around village life - pubs, a cricket club and regular events on the green - and the economy is mostly residential with many people commuting to nearby Blackpool, Preston or the market town of Kirkham. It’s also within easy reach of the coastal resort of Lytham St Annes, so residents and visitors enjoy a mix of countryside calm and access to seaside facilities.
