A River Runs Through It

The source of the Wyre sits in the Bowland fells which provide breathtaking views from Bowland Rise and Dolphinholme Village, it is here that the Marshaw Wyre and the Tarnbrook Wyre are formed. The rivers flow west to Abbeystead where they meet to form the River Wyre. The flora and fauna of the upper catchment is varied, the Bowland fells play host to a myriad of raptors and small mammals, whilst the river and its tributaries are home to many key invertebrate species which are a key food source for birds and fish alike.

The midsection of the Wyre flows through rural north Lancashire. As the river drops from Dolphinholme it flows behind Scorton and bisects Garstang before meandering its way to St Michaels. This section of the river supports a wide variety of species such as the Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) and the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) as it migrates up the Wyre to spawn. It is at this point that two key tributaries (The rivers Brock and Calder) enter the Wyre. So for access to riverside strolls, country lanes, woodland and fells, Bowland Rise is a fantastic choice. Whilst still having the benefits of Garstang, Galgate and Lancaster just a few minutes' drive away.
