Welcome to Higher Bartle

Higher Bartle is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles north of the city of Preston and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Higher Bartle is its proximity to the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The forest is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including red deer, otters, and rare birds such as the hen harrier. It is also a popular destination for walkers and hikers, with many trails and paths winding through the forest and surrounding hills.

Despite its rural location, Higher Bartle is well-connected to the rest of Lancashire and beyond. The village is just a short drive from the M6 motorway, which provides easy access to Manchester, Liverpool, and other major cities in the north of England. There are also regular bus services to Preston and other nearby towns, making it easy to get around without a car.
