Wymott is a small, largely rural area in the borough of Chorley, in Lancashire, England. It sits amid farmland and scattered farmsteads rather than being a distinct village, so its character is quietly agricultural with a patchwork of open fields and country lanes linking it to nearby towns.
What many people associate with Wymott is HMP Wymott, a category C prison on the outskirts of the locality that has shaped local employment and perceptions of the area. Otherwise its identity is tied to the surrounding countryside and easy access to larger settlements such as Chorley and Leyland, making it a working rural landscape within reach of town services and transport links.
