The Area
Just over the hill, (1/2 mile) on the eastern edge of Ormskirk are the Hospital, Ormskirk School and a group of shops including Chinese/english takeaway, laundrette offering service washes, traditional butcher/grocer, and “all hours” convenience store/off licence.
Ormskirk is a small market town with a range of shopping and a public sports complex including a swimming pool. The market draws visitors from a wide area and is held on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Skelmersdale (3 miles east) was developed as a new town and has a selection of larger shops in the town centre. It is the main focus of industry and expansion in the immediate area.
