Edgworth is a semi-rural village in the borough of Blackburn with Darwen, in Lancashire, sitting on the edge of the West Pennine Moors. It overlooks the tree-lined Wayoh Reservoir and a network of cloughs and footpaths, which give the area a rugged, open feel and make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers; traditional stone-built cottages and lanes preserve a village character rather than an urban one.
Historically the place grew from farming and small-scale quarrying and was touched by the wider textile economy of the region, but today it is largely residential with local shops, a few pubs and community organisations that keep village life active. Its proximity to Bolton and Manchester makes it a commuter-friendly spot while still offering countryside appeal and regular outdoor recreation.
