Withnell is a largely rural civil parish on the edge of the borough of Chorley in Lancashire, England. The parish includes small settlements such as Abbey Village and Withnell Fold, set among farmland and moorland close to the West Pennine Moors, so it’s popular with walkers and people who enjoy reservoirs, country lanes and wide views.
Historically the area shared in Lancashire’s 19th‑century industrial story with small-scale textile and mining activity, but today it’s largely residential with a mix of stone cottages, village halls and community groups; many residents commute to Chorley and neighbouring towns, while the parish retains a quiet rural character and local historic interest.
