Whittle-le-Woods sits on the southern edge of Chorley in Lancashire, England, where low-lying farmland meets the western fringes of the West Pennine Moors. The parish includes older stone-built hamlets such as White Coppice and enjoys proximity to the reservoir country around Rivington and Anglezarke, making it popular with walkers and countryside day-trippers, while the nearby M61 keeps larger towns within easy commuting distance.
Historically the area grew from agricultural roots into pockets of quarrying, mining and small-scale industry in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its name hints at a once-more wooded landscape. Today it is largely residential with a strong village feel - local pubs, clubs and community groups remain important - and a mix of conservation-minded corners, former industrial sites, and small businesses that reflect its rural‑meets‑commuter character.
