Dolphinholme is approximately 4.5 miles South of the city of Lancaster and 6.5 miles to the north of the attractive market town of Garstang. The nearest railway station is Lancaster.

The charming semi-rural village of Dolphinholme sits on the banks of the River Wyre on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The village is a designated historic conservation area and is split into two parts – a higher village and a lower part, called Lower Dolphinholme

The village itself has a primary school, a village hall, a parish church (St Mark's C of E), a Methodist chapel, a pub (the Fleece Inn), a recreational ground, a tennis court and a bowling green. A Post Office visits the village hall on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10:00am to midday. But many local services and amenities are located in the neighbouring village of Galgate. The local SPAR shop, doctor's surgery and pharmacy  for example are just a 7-minute drive away.

There is a village show that takes place on the second Saturday of September each year in the village hall. It features vegetables, flowers, cooking, photography and a children's section.

The nearest supermarket, hospital and extensive amenities are to be found in Lancaster,  but in the village, The Fleece Inn pub also serves as a local shop supplying locals and tourists with a good stock of basic, everyday goods.

A River Runs Through It

The source of the Wyre sits in the Bowland fells which provide breathtaking views from Bowland Rise and Dolphinholme Village, it is here that the Marshaw Wyre and the Tarnbrook Wyre are formed. The rivers flow west to Abbeystead where they meet to form the River Wyre. The flora and fauna of the upper catchment is varied, the Bowland fells play host to a myriad of raptors and small mammals, whilst the river and its tributaries are home to many key invertebrate species which are a key food source for birds and fish alike.

The midsection of the Wyre flows through rural north Lancashire. As the river drops from Dolphinholme it flows behind Scorton and bisects Garstang before meandering its way to St Michaels. This section of the river supports a wide variety of species such as the Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) and the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) as it migrates up the Wyre to spawn. It is at this point that two key tributaries (The rivers Brock and Calder) enter the Wyre. So for access to riverside strolls, country lanes, woodland and fells, Bowland Rise is a fantastic choice. Whilst still having the benefits of Garstang, Galgate and Lancaster just a few minutes' drive away.
