About Ingol
Where to stay in Ingol
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Preston keeps the hotels. Ingol is housing rather than high street, so a stay works from the middle of Preston, with the ward and its neighbour Tanterton left as places to sleep quietly in a let. St Margaret's marks the local corner.
Anyone driving can reach the parish of Ingol and Tanterton from the Preston side in minutes, which makes the ward workable as a base without giving much reason to choose it first.
About Ingol
What are the main landmarks in Ingol?
One name stands out. St Margaret's is the single landmark the record attaches to Ingol, which puts the suburb in the same position as most residential wards of Preston, where the sights sit in the centre rather than out among the housing. Tanterton, inside the same parish, adds no separate entry of its own, so a visitor after built heritage heads into Preston or out into Lancashire.
What is the history of Ingol?
The parish is recent. Ingol and Tanterton became a civil parish in 2012, its boundary drawn to match the electoral ward exactly, which is why the two names travel together in anything official about this part of Preston. St Margaret's is the single named building the record keeps here.
Where is Ingol?
Tanterton adjoins it. Ingol covers a suburban stretch of Preston in England, and the ward drawn around it takes in Tanterton as well.
