Cuerdale is a civil parish located in Lancashire, England. Situated on the banks of the River Ribble, it is approximately 4 miles southeast of the city of Preston. The parish covers an area of around 1.5 square miles and is predominantly rural in nature.

The centerpiece of Cuerdale is the famous Cuerdale Hoard, one of the largest Viking treasure troves ever discovered. Unearthed in 1840 by a group of workmen digging in a field, the hoard consisted of over 8,600 items, including silver coins, jewelry, and other artifacts. Today, the hoard is displayed in the British Museum in London.

Cuerdale's landscape is characterized by rolling countryside, farmland, and some woodland areas. The River Ribble is a prominent feature, offering picturesque views and recreational opportunities such as fishing and boating.

The civil parish is primarily residential, with a small population of around 200 residents. The area is known for its quiet and peaceful atmosphere, making it an attractive destination for those seeking a tranquil rural lifestyle.

Although Cuerdale is primarily residential, there are a few amenities within the parish, including a local pub and a village hall. The nearby city of Preston provides residents with a wider range of services and facilities, including shopping centers, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Overall, Cuerdale is a charming civil parish in Lancashire, offering a mix of rural beauty, historical significance, and a close-knit community.

Exit from the Tickled Trout Services Although not signed on the M6 as services, due to its small nature, it dates back to 1958 when the motorway was built. The first building here was built in the 1930s on Preston New Road, called the Riverside Café. The eastbound A59 access road is on the original alignment of the road. As a result, it was initially known as Riverside services. The Tickled Trout Hotel was owned by Carton Holdings, with Riverside Restaurants providing the catering. It joined the MacDonald Hotels chain in the mid-1990s.
