About

Eccleston, Heskin & Charnock Richard is a primarily rural ward on the western edge of the Chorley borough. The area is characterised by agricultural land, small woodlands, and dispersed settlements rather than a single town centre. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal forms a quiet, linear feature through the landscape, used for leisure rather than industry. Farming remains a visible part of the local economy across its fields and farmsteads.

The ward contains the distinct villages of Eccleston, Heskin, and Charnock Richard, each with its own historic core and community focus. The M6 motorway runs along the ward's eastern boundary, with Charnock Richard services being a major landmark. This creates a notable contrast between the quiet country lanes and the constant movement of the nearby motorway traffic. Parish churches and local pubs serve as traditional hubs within the villages.
