Cantsfield is a hamlet and civil parish in northern Lancashire, adjacent to the border with Yorkshire. It is situated near the River Greta and on the A687 road near the junction with the A683. The civil parish originates as the township of the ancient parish of Tunstall, and had a population of 76 at the 2001 census.[1] The village is a designated conservation area.[2]
Thurland Castle, situated between Cantsfield and Tunstall, was originally built in the 14th century, and after being damaged during the Civil War and rebuilt on two occasions has now been converted into apartments.[3]
