The rural village of Mawdesley is located on the West Lancashire plain, just less than 15 miles from the seaside town of Southport. Twice coming first in the Best Kept Village competition, the village offers a scattering of traditional brick-built cottages, old farmhouses, barn conversions and a local pub all surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. Close by is Martin Mere nature reserve, Mere Sands Wood, the market town of Ormskirk, and the Victorian seaside town of Southport.
