Ormskirk is a market town in West Lancashire, England, north of Liverpool, northwest of St Helens, southeast of Southport and southwest of Preston. Ormskirk is famous for its gingerbread. ==Geography and administration== Ormskirk lies on sloping ground on the side of a ridge, whose highest point is above sea-level, at the centre of the West Lancashire Plain,〔(Townships: Ormskirk ), British History Online〕 and has been described as a "planned borough", laid out in the 13th century.〔(Lancashire.gov.uk ), Ormskirk historic town assessment, Lancashire County Council, 2006〕 Ormskirk is an unparished area, surrounded by the parishes of Bickerstaffe, Aughton, Scarisbrick, Burscough, Lathom and Lathom South.〔(Mariolancashire.gov.uk ), Map of Lancashire parishes〕〔() Lathom South Parish Council〕 The town is located in the district of West Lancashire and is the site of the headquarters of West Lancashire Borough Council. Since Ormskirk does not have a parish council, a voluntary association, Ormskirk Community Partnership, was created in 2009, with the support of the West Lancashire Borough Council, to act as a voice for Ormskirk.〔(Westlandsdc.gov.uk ) Ormskirk Community Partnership〕 Ormskirk is home to Edge Hill University.〔(Edgehill.ac.uk ), Edge Hill's 'how to find us' page〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ormskirk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
