Galgate is, in fact, a historic village which dates back to the 1600s.  Of course since then, much has changed and whilst there is still evidence of some of the older homes, original homes,  many new developments have sprung up.

This month, our chosen village to spotlight is Galgate - a small village with a big heart and a great sense of community.

Galgate is a small semi-rural village located just 3 miles south of Lancaster City.  The village neighbours the University of Lancaster.   Junction 33 of the M6 is just a 3-minute drive from this village making it easily accessible and perfect for commuters.

When it comes to choosing somewhere to live,  for many families with young children,  local schools are very highly important.  It is a reason why many people move home. Galgate is home to just one village primary school.  It is called Ellel St Johns and it is a school which has always rated good in the OFSTED reports.  It is a small school with just 212 pupils.
