Great Eccleston is a small rural parish and village in the borough of Wyre in Lancashire, England. It sits on the fertile plains of the Fylde, close to the tidal River Wyre and within easy reach of the coast and nearby market towns such as Garstang.
Traditionally agricultural, the area still relies on market gardening and farming but has a lively community life centred on a popular local farmers’ market, a parish church and village hall. The mix of historic cottages, newer housing and rural lanes makes it popular with walkers and cyclists, while regular local events and active community groups give the parish a strong social character despite its modest size.
