Wyresdale is a largely rural ward in the district of Wyre, Lancashire, in north‑west England. It is characterised by rolling farmland, small stone-built hamlets and lanes, woodlands and hedgerows, with easy access to the valley of the River Wyre and the fringes of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it popular for walking and country pursuits.
Historically shaped by agriculture and small-scale rural industry, the area still depends on farming and local businesses, with a modest boost from rural tourism and commuters travelling to nearby market towns such as Garstang and Poulton-le-Fylde. Social life tends to centre on parish halls, village events and long‑standing local networks that help preserve the landscape and community character.
