Moor Hall in Aughton ranked second best restaurant in the UK
Mark Birchall's restaurant with rooms near Ormskirk has added a No. 2 ranking at the National Restaurant Awards 2026 to a long run of national honours.
Ormskirk is a market town in West Lancashire, known for its gingerbread and for a parish church that has both a tower and a spire. Edge Hill University is based in the town. Burscough sits on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal close to the Martin Mere wetlands, Aughton lies just to the south and Skelmersdale was developed as a new town. The market towns, villages and farmland of West Lancashire all share their good news here.
