Goosnargh is a pleasant rural village and civil parish north of Preston in Lancashire, England, sitting on the western edge of the rolling countryside that leads up towards the Forest of Bowland. The area is mainly farmland and small hamlets, with scenic lanes, stone cottages and good walking country nearby - notably Beacon Fell and other local green spaces that draw walkers and cyclists.
Locally there’s a tidy community feel centred on a village school, a hall and a couple of pubs, and the economy still has strong agricultural roots alongside small businesses and commuters into Preston. Historic touches - an old parish church and traditional farmsteads - sit alongside lively village events, making it a popular spot for those who want countryside living within easy reach of larger towns.
