Preesall is a ward in the borough of Wyre, in Lancashire, England, sitting on the eastern edge of the Fylde peninsula close to the salt marshes and tidal flats of Morecambe Bay. It lies a short drive from Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood and forms part of a string of coastal communities opposite Knott End-on-Sea across the Wyre estuary, so the area has a quietly coastal, semi-rural character with wide skies and good access to estuary walks and birdwatching.
Historically the locality is linked to salt extraction and related industry, and that legacy still shapes local debate about land use and development; today the ward combines small shops and community facilities with a largely commuter and retirement population, plus some tourism from caravan parks and coastal visitors. The social feel is that of a compact village community rather than an urban centre, with an emphasis on local events, outdoor pursuits and the seafront landscape.
