The pretty, historic village is a magnet for cyclists, hikers and day-trippers
If you're driving from Manchester to Lancaster or the Lake District via the M6, you're most likely to pass through a picturesque village that will almost certainly capture your attention. About an hour's drive away from Manchester lies the small Lancashire village of Scorton that is a challenge to pass through without stopping.
Back down below, you'll find an interesting village that resembles Dr Who's Tardis. Not because it is full of Daleks and references to time travel, but because on the surface, it appears to be a small place, uneventful place but if you step inside and explore a little deeper, you'll discover so much life, character and things on offer.
But the main draw here, is the garden centre at the rear, which you could easily miss from the main road. It was being lovingly cared for by three dedicated gardeners during our visit. Head gardener Debora Preston told us it is "always busy, especially in the summer". Incidentally, The Priory doubles up as a bed and breakfast and its main room is available for private functions, including weddings.
