Heapey is a small rural civil parish on the edge of the West Pennine Moors, within the Borough of Chorley in Lancashire, England. It sits amid rolling moorland and a network of reservoirs and country parks associated with nearby Rivington, so it’s popular with walkers and birdwatchers while retaining a quiet, agricultural feel despite good road links to larger towns.
Historically the area grew from farming with pockets of quarrying and mill activity in the 19th century; today it comprises scattered hamlets and farmsteads, a small range of local amenities and a largely commuter and agricultural economy. Community life tends to revolve around outdoor recreation, local clubs and conservation of the distinctive moorland and reservoir landscape.
