Goosnargh is a small village and civil parish a few miles north of Preston in Lancashire, England. Set on the edge of rolling farmland with views towards the Forest of Bowland, the parish includes the hamlets of Inglewhite and Whitechapel and retains a strong rural character of stone cottages and narrow lanes.
The local economy remains rooted in agriculture - dairy and poultry alongside small local businesses - while many residents commute into Preston. Historically part of the hundred of Amounderness, the village sustains an active community life centred on its church, village pub and annual fetes, with a handful of listed buildings that reflect its long rural history.
