Bay Horse is a sparsely populated hamlet in the English county of Lancashire. It lies between Lancaster and Preston to the North and South respectively. To the West is the Irish Sea, the to East is The Trough of Bowland, partly owned by the Royal Family. Approximately 100 inhabitants reside in Bay Horse. The main road through Bay Horse is Whams Lane, which is used by motorcyclists on their way to Devils Bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale.

There are no amenities in the village, just a single pub, the Bay Horse Inn[1]. Notable figures have attended the pub, including, amongst others, Sir Alex Ferguson.^{[citation needed]}

The local area is mostly farmland, the nearest large urban area being Lancaster, approximately 5 miles away. The Lancaster Canal bisects the village, and the M6 motorway runs though the village. There was previously a railway station in Bay Horse, but this closed due to disuse in the 1960s.
