Residential Park (find out more here)
Bacchus Fold in Lancashire is a quiet park community with a full residential licence that offers luxury living standards and may appeal to retirees looking to explore the wider Lancashire countryside. The park itself backs into a pastoral location, overlooking farmland while still remaining close to villages such as Barton and Catterall.
Bacchus Fold is a modern residential community which offers green countryside views and access to local village scenes and shops. Residents at the park will have access to everyday amenities and daily groceries only a few minutes away. The park offers a quiet atmosphere and a close-knit community, with premium living standards available on a permanent basis.
Residents at Bacchus Fold will benefit from views across Lancashire’s green pastures and pastoral farmland, as well as clear sight of the popular Lancaster Canal. The park is close to several green walks and nature trails a short distance away. The private neighbourhood at Bacchus Fold is designed to offer peaceful and private independent living, however, some retirees may wish to move to the community to be alongside like-minded people.
Bacchus Fold is a gentle and secure park, with a focus on modern luxury. The park offers its own private feel and secluded location; however, it is still closely linked to much of Lancashire’s hidden villages and communities. The park is designed for retired and semi-retired living, meaning it has an exclusive set-up, far from public access and available as a peaceful bolthole in the county.
The park may appeal to new residents who already close by in towns and cities such as Preston, though it also offers an investment opportunity for former holidaymakers. Lancashire is a popular county with tourists and retirees alike.
Bacchus Fold is close to green expanses and waterside walks. However, for convenience, it is placed at the edge of the village of Barton. Park residents will be able to walk into Barton for local shopping and Post Office amenities. Facilities such as local pubs and restaurants are also only a short walk away, which means residents will not have far to travel to sample local fare. The local area also has a popular garden centre, which may appeal to new residents at the park. It is also within reach of the popular and historic town of Garstang, a previous winner of ‘best town in Europe’.
Bacchus Fold is based just off the A6 heading towards Bilsborrow and up from Barton. Residents and visitors to the park will be able to access the community via the M6 heading North, leading up from Preston and heading towards Lancaster. The park is also the edge of the Forest of Bowland, a large expanse which is a designated Area of Natural Beauty. This may appeal to those new residents looking for green and country walks close by, away from towns and cities.
However, those looking for nearby cities will be able to head down the M6 towards Preston, and, again, up towards Lancaster. Here, visitors will find the famous Lancaster Canal. The park is in a central location for country and nature walks, as well as some of the county’s best-loved seaside and city breaks.
Therefore, close enough to major towns and cities, Bacchus Fold is close enough to public transport links to connect widely across the UK. However, many may wish to explore Lancashire first before travelling further afield. The park benefits from sitting between greenery and coast, offering a variety of nature walks and scenery.
Bacchus Fold residents will benefit from clear access to the Forest of Bowland, and beyond that, they will be able to tour the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is on the Eastern edge of the Dales. Heading further up the M6 through Lancaster, residents will be able to drive towards the Lake District, stopping at historic Kendal along the way.
The park is also close to the popular Lancashire seaside resort of Blackpool. This world-famous seaside retreat offers plenty of entertainment and beach walks for local people and holidaymakers to enjoy. The park is also based just down from Morecambe and Morecambe Bay, a quieter seaside day out which may appeal to residents who want to explore quieter beaches.
Bacchus Fold is also close to links heading down towards Manchester and Liverpool further South, with the further seaside and coastal resorts in Southport and the Ribble and Alt Estuaries clear to view along the way. Residents may also wish to take a close lookout at Lytham St Annes, a gentle coastal retreat that is a few miles South down on the Blackpool coast.
Bacchus Fold is a central base for retirees keen to explore Lancashire’s most popular countryside and coastal attractions.
