Catterall is a small rural parish in the borough of Wyre, in Lancashire, England, lying between Garstang and Preston and within easy reach of Lancaster. The landscape is a mix of working farmland and winding waterways: the nearby River Calder and the Lancaster Canal give the area a network of pleasant walks and wetland interest, while good road and rail links have made it something of a commuter fringe for the larger towns and the motorway network.
Historically the settlement owes much to agriculture and to nineteenth‑century transport links, which brought modest growth without erasing the village character. Today it feels like a close‑knit community with the sort of local amenities and pubs you expect in a rural parish, and it’s valued for its quiet lanes, birdlife and easy access to both open countryside and nearby urban centres.
