Buckshaw & Worden sits on the western edge of South Ribble in Lancashire, bridging the modern housing of Buckshaw and the leafy, historic green of Worden.

At the heart of the ward is Worden Park, a much-loved municipal park with a Victorian hall, formal gardens, a lake and regular community events and parkruns, while the Buckshaw side hosts local shops, light industry and growing small businesses.
