Family friendly? Definitely!

Overlooking the Lune
The Family Friendly Hotspots Report lists the postcode area of LA2, which encompasses Halton, as one of the top three places in England and Wales to bring up children. 


Their analysis is based on a combination of factors including crime rates, earnings, house prices and access to good schools. Obviously there is far more to family happiness, but it is a good start. Rather randomly, the report used Galgate to represent the postcode area, but we think Halton is far better! 

The Centre @ Halton
It is quiet in comparison, surrounded by lovely countryside with stunning Morecambe Bay only 3 miles away. There are acres of traffic-free space on our land for children to play on and explore, with a fabulous stream and rope swings just on the edge. The fantastic recreational facilities at the Halton Community Centre provide even more choices for those of any age. 


View from High Road
There are a good number of facilities both in Halton and the local area. We have a GP surgery, small shops, chippy and pub. A Co-op supermarket, pharmacy and butcher exist in Caton, which can quickly be reached by bike. The local primary school, St Wilfrid's CofE, is rated as outstanding by Ofsted, whilst we also fall within the catchment area of several outstanding secondary schools.


We are certainly proving attractive and on the current count have eight families with young children and a three with young adults.

  1. There's a chippy? I didn't know that, hooray! My dad's been telling me about his new tortilla recipe: beat some eggs, go and get a bag of chips, combine in frying pan.
