Description

This milestone, dating from the late 18th century, is made of painted sandstone and features cast-iron plates. It has a half-oval shape with a rounded top. The base is inscribed with the word 'CATTERALL'. Above this, there are two iron panels with moulded borders. The left panel reads: 'To Garstang 1 3/4 Miles', while the right panel states: 'To Preston 9 Miles'.

Local climate

Milestone sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,350 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
