Hoghton is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, set on quietly elevated ground with open farmland and pockets of woodland. It looks out across the agricultural landscape towards the Ribble Valley and sits a few miles from larger centres such as Preston and Blackburn, making it a largely rural community with a number of residents who commute to nearby towns and cities, including Manchester.
The village’s best known feature is Hoghton Tower, an atmospheric Tudor manor house with a long family history that opens to the public for tours and events; that historic presence gives the area a strong cultural identity. Day‑to‑day life remains quiet and community‑focused, with agriculture and heritage tourism important to the local economy and occasional public events drawing visitors to the locality.
