Brinscall is a small village in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, sitting on the lower flanks of the West Pennine Moors. It has a distinctly rural feel despite its industrial past, with stone terraces and old mill buildings giving way to countryside paths and reservoirs such as Roddlesworth Reservoir, making it popular with walkers and anyone wanting quick access to moorland scenery.
Historically the village grew up around local mills and quarrying, and today it retains a close-knit community with local shops, a village hall and events that reflect that heritage. Economically many residents commute to nearby towns such as Rivington and Chorley, while others work locally or in tourism and outdoor recreation that the surrounding landscape supports.
