Skelmersdale, to the east of Ormskirk, is an old coal mining village that became a New Town in the 1960s. Dating back to 55 BC the town was used as a resting place for Roman soldiers marching from Wigan to the harbour at Crosby on the River Mersey. Some 20 years ago a great quantity of Roman coins was discovered buried at Ottershead Farm. Skelmersdale's history can be followed in some detail in the Domesday Book of 1066 AD. Skelmersdale boasts many attractions, one of which is the superb new Concourse shopping development. The town has an attractive park, the Tawd Valley park which wends its way to the Ribble Estuary joining the River Douglas on the way which provides two miles of landscape rich in varied wildlife. Beacon Country Park has beautiful scenery, an 18 hole Golf Course and Driving Range, Visitor Centre and first class swimming pool. Also see Skelmersdale.
