Whittle-le-Woods is a semi-rural village and civil parish in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, sitting on the fringe of the West Pennine Moors amid rolling farmland and pockets of woodland. Its location gives a countryside feel while being within easy driving distance of Chorley town centre and larger centres such as Preston and Manchester, with nearby new developments like Buckshaw Village and good motorway links supporting commuting and local industry.
Historically the area grew from agriculture with later small-scale quarrying and mining, and the village still retains historic buildings, a village hall, pubs and active community groups. Today it combines a strong local community identity and conservation interest with a largely commuter-orientated economy, making it a quiet residential spot with visible links to Lancashire’s industrial past.
