About

The parishes of Parbold, Appley Bridge and Wrightington sit on the western edge of the West Lancashire plain. Parbold Hill rises above the plain with wooded slopes and a well-used footpath giving wide views over farmland and the Irish Sea on clear days. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through Appley Bridge, with stone bridges and a towpath used by walkers and cyclists. Villages lie along country lanes and the railway line; Parbold station links the area by rail and sits close to the village centre.

Local life combines farming, small businesses and community facilities. Wrightington Hospital is a specialist orthopaedic centre with a national reputation, and parish halls, primary schools and pubs serve residents. Public rights of way connect fields, woodlands and the canal, and seasonal field crops and pasture shape the landscape. Local events tend to focus on village halls and sports clubs rather than large attractions, so the area is oriented toward everyday community activity and countryside access.
