About

Chorley West encompasses a largely residential area situated to the west of the town centre. The neighbourhood is characterised by a mix of housing, including interwar semis, post-war estates, and some modern developments.

The area is bordered by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which provides a green corridor for walking and cycling. A notable local feature is the presence of several large, historic mill ponds, remnants of the area's industrial past, which now contribute to the landscape and local ecology.
