A far cry from the noise and bustle of nearby Blackpool, Pilling is a serene little village boasting tea shops, antique shops and a pottery. It’s a lovely place to mooch around after a brisk walk along the coast.

The slender church spire of St John the Baptist is a conspicuous landmark above the flat surroundings. Another landmark of note is Pilling Windmill, built in 1808, its wooden cap was restored in 2007.

Pilling Village

Highlight • Structure

Pilling is a small coastal village in the Wyre borough of Lancashire. It is situated approximately 9 miles South West of Lancaster and just 10 minutes’ drive from our 5-star Caravan and holiday home park. Pilling village is surrounded by farmland and salt marsh, making it a scenic stopping point on your way to larger towns such as Fleetwood, Blackpool and St Annes. Take an hour or so out of your day to explore this rugged section of the Lancashire Coast.

HISTORIC VILLAGE

Pilling village is relatively small, with just two pubs and a number of churches to admire during your visit. Two of the churches are dedicated to John the Baptist. The older of the two is now redundant, but it has been well-maintained thanks to the involvement of the Churches Conservation Trust. A key can be collected nearby should you wish to take a look at the Georgian interior.

Further into the village the modern, St John the Baptist’s Church can be found. The grounds are carpeted with colourful flowers throughout much of the year, which has helped Pilling win national awards for its well-kept blooms.
