It begins nearChurchtown(53°52′53″N2°46′49″W / 53.8813°N 2.7804°W /53.8813; -2.7804 (A586 road (eastern end))), south ofGarstang and just east ofCatterall, as a junction on theA6 Preston Lancaster New Road, immediately to the north of Kirkland Bridge. It runs as a winding rural single-lane road 2 miles (3.2 km) south west toSt Michael's on Wyre, where it crosses theRiver Wyre. Becoming Garstang Road, it runs west, bypassingGreat Eccleston andLittle Eccleston, and sharing with theA585 as Garstang New Road betweenLarbreck and LittleSingleton, about 4 miles (6.4 km) pastSt Michael's on Wyre.
