Preesall is a parish in the Borough of Wyre, on the low-lying Fylde plain of coastal Lancashire in north‑west England. Sitting near the edge of Morecambe Bay and within easy reach of Fleetwood and Knott End-on-Sea, the area is characterised by reclaimed salt marsh, open farmland and wide views towards the Cumbrian hills.
Historically rooted in agriculture and local coastal trades, the parish today is largely residential with small businesses and a strong community life centred on village halls and sports clubs; many residents commute to nearby centres such as Blackpool and Lancaster. Its mix of rural landscape and coastal access also makes it popular with walkers and birdwatchers, and the local character remains quietly distinct from the busier seaside towns close by.
