About

Whittle-le-Woods is situated on the western edge of Chorley, where residential streets transition into greenbelt land. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the area, with a notable flight of locks at Johnson's Hillock providing a focus for walking and cycling routes. The village itself is a mix of older stone properties and more modern housing, serving as a commuter settlement with local amenities clustered around the main roads.

To the north, the area opens into the moorland expanse of Anglezarke, part of the West Pennine Moors. This is characterised by open heather-covered hills, reservoirs like Anglezarke and Upper Rivington, and historic farmsteads. The landscape is defined by rough grazing land, dry stone walls, and access points for walking onto the moors, with the ruins of Lead Mines Clough hinting at its industrial past.
