Ulnes Walton is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in the borough of Chorley in Lancashire, England, situated between the larger towns of Chorley and Leyland. The landscape is largely flat, with a mix of arable fields, pasture and remnants of mossland, and the area is dotted with historic farmsteads and a few old manor houses that hint at medieval and post‑medieval roots.
Locally the economy remains centred on agriculture and small enterprises, though many residents commute to nearby centres such as Preston and Manchester for work. Socially it feels like a dispersed, close‑knit community with parish activities and village events serving scattered hamlets, giving it a quiet Lancashire character while still being within easy reach of regional towns and transport links.
