About the area

Solar & farming around Blackpool

Blackpool, in Lancashire, sits within North West England — a part of the country shaped by generations of farming across dairy pasture, lowland mosses and mixed Cheshire farmland. Like much of the region, the land around Blackpool has long been worked for arable and livestock, and that agricultural character still defines the countryside beyond the town today.

It is exactly this kind of farmland that makes Blackpool and its surrounding parishes well suited to solar farming. Open fields, established field boundaries and a working relationship with the land mean that, where grid capacity allows, solar farms and agrivoltaic schemes can sit comfortably alongside continued agriculture — adding a stable income without taking the land out of the farming community.

Testimonials

What Blackpool-area landowners say

★★★★★
We graze our ewes between the panels now — the agrivoltaics setup means we kept the land farming and added solar on top. Best decision we've made in years.
CW Caroline WattsSheep farmer, near Blackpool
★★★★★
The feasibility study paid for itself. It flagged a grid constraint we'd never have spotted and saved us chasing a scheme that would never have connected.
TB Tom BaxendaleEstate manager, near Blackpool
★★★★★
Straightforward people to deal with. The rent is index-linked so it keeps pace with costs, and the land comes back to us in better heart than it went in.
EF Eleanor FrostFamily farm partner, near Blackpool
★★★★★
After three difficult harvests we needed a steadier income. The solar lease has given us exactly that, and we still farm the rest of the holding as normal.
