Kirkland is a small civil parish in the borough of Wyre, in Lancashire, England. Predominantly rural, it is made up of farmland, hedgerows and a scattering of hamlets and farmsteads; the name itself reflects its historic role as church land and the settlement is traditionally centred on a modest parish church and lanes that reflect its long history.
The local economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to larger towns, and community life tends to be quiet and close‑knit, centred on the church, village hall and occasional local events. There is local interest in preserving traditional buildings and landscape character, and the parish’s medieval roots give it a sense of continuity that appeals to residents and visitors seeking a rural Lancashire experience.
