Anglezarke is a sparsely populated upland civil parish in the Borough of Chorley, in north‑west Lancashire, characterised by open moorland, peat bogs and a string of reservoirs including Anglezarke Reservoir and Yarrow Reservoir. The area sits close to landmarks such as Rivington Pike and the Winter Hill skyline, offering wide views across the Ribble Valley to the Pennines and, on clear days, towards the Irish Sea.
There is a long human story here - Bronze Age cairns and old packhorse routes survive alongside 19th‑century works when water schemes for Liverpool reshaped the landscape. Today the economy is quietly rural, centred on hill farming, conservation and outdoor recreation; walkers, birdwatchers and mountain bikers are a familiar sight, and local groups help look after the moors and historic features.
