Martin Mere Martin Mere is a vast marsh, around grid reference SD 41 15 that was, until it was drained, the largest body of fresh water in England. The mere is a mere near Burscough, in Lancashire, on the West Lancsire Coastal Plain.

Mere Sands Wood Mere Sands Wood is a 105 acres (42 ha) nature reserve in west Lancashire. It lies about five miles from Ormskirk. The name derives from when the area was on the shore of Martin Mere.

New Lane railway station New Lane railway station serves the rural communities and farming villages around New Lane in West Lancashire. It is situated near the Martin Mere bird sanctuary, which can be reached by a 1-mile walk. The main stone-built station building survives adjacent to the Wigan-bound platform, but is now in use as a private house.

Rufford Old Hall Rufford Old Hall is a National Trust property in Rufford, Lancashire. Built in about 1530 for Sir Robert Hesketh, only the Great Hall survives from the original structure. A brick-built wing in the Jacobean style was added in 1661, at right angles to Great Hall. The hall’s cottage, coach house and stables, about ten metres to the east, are designated Grade II.

River Yarrow (Lancashire) The River Yarrow is in Lancashire, with its source at an area called Will Narr at Hordern Stoops, along Spitlers Edge – the Chorley/Blackburn boundary – on the West Pennine Moors. The river feeds the Yarrow Reservoir, which in turn feeds the Anglezarke and Upper and Lower Rivington Reservoirs. Upon leaving the reservoirs, the river passes through an area that was formerly known as Abyssinia.
