Mere Brow is a small rural village in West Lancashire, in the county of Lancashire, England. It sits on the reclaimed mosslands between Tarleton and Banks, close to the low-lying wetlands that were once part of the great Martin Mere.
The landscape is characteristically flat and fertile, supporting dairy farming and market gardening, while the nearby Martin Mere reserve and surrounding ditches attract a lot of birdlife. Community life is quiet but active, centred on village institutions and local clubs, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Southport and Ormskirk or to cities like Liverpool and Preston. The village’s history and character are shaped by the long story of mossland drainage and reclamation that transformed this part of Lancashire.
