Stanley Gate

In the charming village of Bickerstaffe, nestled in the heart of the West Lancashire countryside, stands the Stanley Gate country pub. Positioned at the crossroads adjacent to the site of the seventeenth-century stocks, the inviting pub building offers picturesque views of the nearby church, windmill, and, on clear days, extends to Liverpool and the Welsh hills. This location is perfect for a meal following a countryside stroll or a leisurely visit to the market town of Ormskirk, just three miles away, known for its traditional markets held on Thursdays and Saturdays. The Stanley Gate is conveniently situated about half an hour from the vibrant city of Liverpool and the nearby dog-friendly beaches. National Trust Formby Beach and Crosby Beach are both within a 16-mile radius. Guests at the Stanley Gate are encouraged to relax and admire the surroundings while savouring a delightful selection of beverages or indulging in the head chef’s weekly specials. The rural setting offers ample opportunities to explore the local walking trails, followed by a cozy retreat by the log burner during the winter months.
