About Whitestake Farm
Thankfully the Royal Charter of 1179, that turned Preston into a medieval tax haven, thus preventing any form of lodgings being let to outsiders, has since been dropped, and Whitestake Farm is pleased to open its doors and welcome visitors with little fear of a local uprising.
Whitestake Farm sits on the old track that stretched from the river through Lostock Hall and onwards to Longton, where white stakes pegged in the ground were a useful guide to travellers and gave Whitestake its name.
Set within this three hundred year old converted farmhouse, The Garden Of Eden Spa can now provide the areas most contemporary business, where established meets novel, to ensure each visitors stay is relaxing and memorable.
Situated just minutes from the centre of Preston and 10 minutes from Junction 29 on the M6, its rural setting belies its close proximity to local amenities and busy city life....
The Garden Of Eden Spa
...The Lakes, The Yorkshire Dales and The Trough of Bowland, all within a short distance of Preston, give visitors the opportunity to view some of Britain's most beautiful scenery.
The four major airports of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds-Bradford and Blackpool radiate south, west, east and north respectively, making Preston one of the best served cities for air travel in the UK. It is also a main-line station for rail travel between Scotland and London, and still has the largest bus station in Europe.
Bordering Whitestake Farm, and viewed from the indoor pool, is a delightful orchard that the locals once described as 'the garden of eden'.
This area produces plentiful fruit, including apples, greengage, plums and damsons, good old fashioned fruit that makes the most wonderful jam. The Spa takes its name from this tranquil area.
