Scorton is a settlement in Nether Wyresdale, just on the boundary of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Although it was built in the 19th century around a cotton mill and railway, the area is now frequented primarily by walkers and bikers in search of refreshments at one of the area's many bars and eateries. Regular Food & Gift Fairs are held in the village, where one may peruse a wonderful assortment of stalls selling cheese, preserves, jewellery, and crafts, to mention a few. The village's most famous sight, Nicky Nook, is located in its rear, making it a great starting point for exploring the rest of Lancashire. You may go fishing in the area at Wyreside Lake, Cleveley Mere, and the River Wyre. Garstang, just a few miles up the road, is known for being the first Fairtrade town in the world and is famed for its great local products and many street markets.
