Mawdesley is a small, rural village and civil parish in the Borough of Chorley, in Lancashire. Set on the flat agricultural plain of the north-west, it has a compact village centre with a church, primary school, pubs and a village hall, and is surrounded by farmland and remnant mossland that gives plenty of open views and easy access to country walks.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still leans on farming while many residents commute to nearby towns, and the community is lively for its size - with sports clubs, gardening and women’s institute groups, village events and an active parish council. A scattering of traditional cottages and Victorian-era buildings hint at the village’s past, and its quiet lanes and green spaces make it popular with walkers and families seeking a rural feel within reach of larger centres.
