moorland the west of the district lies within the flat coastal plain of the fylde the southern border is the river ribble which meanders through a flood plain in a wide steep sided valley the northeast of the district lies within the forest of bowland area of outstanding natural beauty the highest point is the summit of beacon fell at 266 m 873 ft above sea level an isolated fell two miles south of the main range of bowland fells just outside the district boundaries the lowest point lies on the river ribble in the southwest corner of the district the ribble here is tidal and therefore virtually at sea level the course of the river west of preston was artificially straightened in the 19th century to ease passage of shipping to the docks the southern one third of the district most of which is covered by preston and its suburbs drains into savick brook running east to west and then turning south into the ribble the lowest section of the brook has been widened into the ribble link which connects the lancaster canal to the ribble the central and northern parts of the district drain into south and west flowing tributaries of the river brock itself a tributary of the wyre whose estuary is at fleetwood the brock forms part of the district boundary on the west and north sides of beacon fell a small part of the district along the eastern boundary drains into the east flowing river loud a tributary of the hodder the lowland area in the north and east of the district between beacon fell and the fylde is a dairy farming area particularly noted for its cheesemaking dairies six of the ten lancashire cheese dairies listed on the british cheese board s website in 2011 are located in the city of preston district and the other four are only a few miles outside 50 beacon fell
