Walton le Dale Local Guide
Just south of Preston, the village of Walton le Dale, which was known in the Domesday Book as Waleton, lies at the confluence of the two rivers – the River Ribble and the River Darwen. There was a settlement in the area even before the Romans built a camp on their road from Wigan to Lancaster.
