Charnock Richard is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England. Sitting a short distance from the M6, it’s rural in character but within easy commuting reach of Preston, Wigan and Manchester, so it combines countryside living with good road links.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the village retains a strong local community centred on its parish facilities, village hall and clubs, including a non‑league football side.
