Livesey is a civil parish in the borough of Blackburn with Darwen, in Lancashire, lying to the south‑west of Blackburn. The area blends suburban edges with open countryside and the lower slopes of the West Pennine Moors, with rolling fields, stone cottages and lanes that make it popular for local walking and countryside access.
Historically shaped by the industrial development of nearby towns, the parish today is largely residential and agricultural, with many residents commuting to Blackburn or Preston. Community life centres on village halls, local churches and pubs, and the mix of rural character and easy links to urban jobs gives it a quietly villagey feel despite its proximity to larger centres.
