Manufacturing Town Becomes One of Lancashire's Best Kept Secrets

David Wilson Homes is celebrating the location of its Centurion Village in one of Lancashire’s hidden gems.

This industrious town of Leyland brings home buyers closer to Preston and Southport. Key factors that make this location prime for commuters are the area’s transport links to both the M6 and West Coast Main Line rail services.

The area, known for its ties to English manufacturing, is steeped in history. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1085, with ancient Roman roads that remain to this day, and the St Andrew’s Parish Church built over 800 years ago.

There is much to do and see in the area, from independent shops and cafes to a large Tesco Extra where residents can grab the daily essentials.

Leyland also offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the surrounding rural beauty, with many pathways and trails to explore the community.

The Cuerden Valley Park Circular is a 1.8km family-friendly trail that encompasses 650 acres of meadows, rivers, lakes and woodland. For the more serious hikers, there’s the opportunity to tackle the Croston Circular, a 14.6km path for those who love feeling solitary with nature.

Gavin Powell, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes North West, said: “With its history, transport links and connection to rural Lancashire, we view Leyland as a prime location that our customers will love to discover.

“Its community is warm and welcoming with plenty of options for new arrivals to throw themselves into a new way of life. Leyland’s church runs a range of groups that can be used to build links to this gorgeous and historic area.”
