The village of Torrisholme is close to Morecambe town centre and has good access through to Lancaster but the village itself has a whole host of shops and businesses from a bridal boutique and beauticians to supermarket, pub and various eateries. The new link road will soon enhance the ease of travel further afield by linking direct to the M6. The nearby village of Bare also offers a train station which connects through to Lancaster City centre and the main West Coast line within minutes. With Morecambe's famous promenade close by and Happy Mount Park within easy reach there is always plenty of family entertainment on hand too. Hyde Road itself is a tranquil tree lined road where families tend to settle and stay.
