Eccleston is a village and civil parish on the southern edge of Chorley in Lancashire, England. It occupies a pleasant mix of agricultural land and suburban housing a short distance from the town centre, giving it a semi-rural feel while still being well connected to nearby towns and cities for work and services.
With medieval origins reflected in its parish church and older stone houses, Eccleston retains a recognisable historic core alongside more modern housing; the local community is centred on a village hall, primary school and small shops, and there are active local groups and annual events that keep a strong social life despite the village’s largely residential character.
