Astley Village is a relatively modern, primarily residential community on the outskirts of Chorley in Lancashire, England, created on what was once agricultural land and greenbelt. It sits close enough to the town to benefit from shops, schools and local services while still feeling semi-rural, with green spaces and footpaths that give it a village-like atmosphere despite its late-20th-century origins.
Economically and socially the area is largely commuter-oriented, with many residents travelling to nearby centres such as Preston and Manchester for work, but local life is anchored by community facilities, sports clubs and occasional neighbourhood events. The parish’s history as farmland turned planned housing adds a distinctive character compared with older, historic settlements in the borough.
