Winmarleigh is a village and civil parish of the Borough of Wyre in Lancashire, England. The village, which is north-west of Garstang, has an agricultural college, and most of the land in the area is owned by the Duchy of Lancaster. It is home to the great manor of Winmarleigh Hall. Constructed to the order of the Duchy of Lancaster, it was given to the first Lord Winmarleigh. Since then the House has been donated to NST Travel group, who have turned the grounds into an outdoor education programme for schools across the country.
