Euxton is a civil parish in the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, sitting in a semi-rural pocket between historic lanes and modern motorway links. The parish combines older village cores and listed buildings with good transport connections - it lies close to the M6 and the West Coast Main Line, served locally by Euxton Balshaw Lane station - which makes it popular with commuters to Preston and Manchester.
A major feature is Buckshaw Village, a large planned community developed on the former ROF Chorley munitions site, which has reshaped the local economy with new housing, shops and light industry. Beneath the recent growth there are still visible agricultural roots and historic manor sites, and the parish retains an active community life with schools, clubs and conservation-minded local groups.
