Skelmersdale is a great place to live. A place where countryside meets urban green space, the quality of life is second to none. Surrounding Skelmersdale is a glorious selection of picturesque villages, and West Lancashire boasts some of the region’s most beautiful countryside.
Tawd Valley
Tawd Valley Park is a hidden jewel in the heart of Skelmersdale that surrounds the River Tawd as it meanders its way from Yewdale, across Skelmersdale and through to Cobbs Clough Brow.
This large country park is a haven for wildlife. You’ll often see birds of prey soaring above the meadows, with kingfishers, dippers and wagtails patrolling the river banks.
Walking around the site you can find the ruins of an old mill, millponds and capped mineshafts, providing echoes of the industrial age.
