About

Clayton West & Cuerden is a largely residential area situated on the western edge of Chorley, characterised by modern housing estates and more established suburban streets. The ward is defined by its proximity to green corridors, with the River Lostock flowing through its northern section. The area serves as a commuter base, providing straightforward road access to both the M61 motorway and the centre of Chorley itself.

The landscape is marked by the presence of Cuerden Valley Park, a significant country park offering woodlands, meadows, and a reservoir. This extensive green space contrasts with the residential development and provides local walking routes. The area's history is subtly reflected in place names and the remaining structures of the former Cuerden Hall estate, around which the park is centred.
