Heskin is a small rural parish in Chorley, Lancashire, in north-west England. The landscape is largely rolling farmland with scattered hamlets, pockets of woodland and traditional farmsteads, and it sits within reasonable commuting distance of Preston and Manchester, so many residents combine agricultural work with jobs in nearby towns.
The area is best known for Heskin Hall, a moated Tudor-era manor house noted for its atmospheric setting, local legends and occasional use as a filming location; the parish also contains several listed buildings and a close-knit community that maintains village events and rural clubs reflecting its agricultural heritage.
