About

Smithills ward covers a large area on the northwestern edge of Bolton, bordering open countryside and the West Pennine Moors. The landscape is a mix of residential suburbs and significant green spaces, including parts of the Smithills Estate and Lever Park. Housing varies from inter-war semis to more modern developments, with local services concentrated along main routes like Chorley Old Road.

The area is anchored by the historic Smithills Hall, a medieval manor house with extensive grounds open to the public. The hall's 14th-century Great Hall contains the "Bloody Footstep," a mark in the floorboards from the 1555 martyrdom of George Marsh. This rural-urban fringe provides direct walking access to the moors via the scenic Rivington terraced gardens.
