From the Fleetwood road A585, at Skipool, it is less than ½ a mile along the A588 south-west into the centre of Poulton-le-Fylde.

The rail link to Poulton-le-Fylde is from Kirkham to the south-east of the town. The railway station, which is in the north of Poulton-le-Fylde, is only a short distance from the extensive Golf Course and Clubhouse. The cricket ground is north-west of the town centre, close to Hodgson High School & Technical College. The rail line north to Thornton Cleveleys passes to the east of Poulton’s neighbouring village of Carleton. The rail line south terminates at Blackpool North.

St Chad’s Parish is near to the market square and dedicated to the 7th century Saxon Bishop. It has a Church Tower dating back to the 16th to17th century but which was rebuilt between 1752-1753. One of its earlier ports was on the River Wyre at Skipool.
