Euxton is a sizeable village in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, lying between the towns of Leyland and Chorley. Once a largely agricultural parish with a historic manor – Euxton Hall – the area has grown in recent decades, most notably with the development of Buckshaw Village on the site of a former wartime munitions factory. Good road and rail links to Preston and Manchester make it a popular base for commuters while still feeling semi-rural.
The village mixes traditional community life - pubs, schools, clubs and parish activities - with pockets of light industry and business parks nearby, reflecting the wider manufacturing heritage of the area. Historic features and railway connections sit alongside new housing and green spaces, so Euxton offers a blend of local history and modern residential growth.
