The popular residential area of Ingol, Fulwood is conveniently located on the northern outskirts of Preston, with lots of family friendly amenities close by yet without the hustle and bustle of traditional city living. Ingol is just a few miles from the centre of Preston, a vibrant and youthful university city with a proud heritage of cotton production during the Industrial Revolution.
The city centre’s architecture is defined by grand old buildings from the nineteenth century, many of which have been converted into fashionable independent shops, hotels, restaurants and bars. Preston is also a river city influenced by a rich and rewarding maritime past, with the River Ribble linking Preston to the Irish Sea at nearby Lytham.
Ingol marks part of the ancient north-western boundary of the old city of Preston - and with a strong sense of its own identity, has its own shops, library, and community centre. As well as being close to Royal Preston Hospital and Ashton & Lea Golf Club, Ingol is on the eastern edge of the Fylde – the gentle, green lowland landscape of rivers and meadows which stretches westwards to the Lancashire coast.
For families, Ingol is home to several reputable schools, including Ingol Community Primary School and Holy Family Catholic Primary School ensuring quality education is within easy reach. Plus, there’s exceptional further education at Cardinal Newman College and the University of Central Lancashire.
Ingol is easily accessible with its proximity to well established local transport routes, with nearby access to the M55, as well as the M6 north to Lancaster and the Lake District, and south towards Manchester and Liverpool. West Coast train services from Preston take just over two hours to London and two hours and twenty minutes to Edinburgh.
The scenic Lancashire countryside on the doorstep offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure, from the hiking trails of the Forest of Bowland or Lancashire Coast to the quaint villages nestled throughout. So, if you’re looking for a peaceful place to call home or a delightful spot to visit, Ingol seamlessly blends the best of both worlds, making it an ideal choice for those seeking tranquillity without giving up access to nearby towns and cities.
