About the location

The River Ribble is a familiar site in Preston as it flows through much of the city and the surrounding areas such as Penwortham, Walton Le Dale and Clitheroe. The river empties into the Irish Sea between Southport and Lytham St Annes.

During lockdown the river has been a constant, one which many of us will have walked down on our daily walks out and which is a big part of Preston.
