Chorley's history is as deep as England itself. And this is no more evident anywhere than in the area's stately homes, parks, gardens, local galleries and markets where you will find a wealth of  antiques and crafts. 

Located in the centre of the town Astley Hall is a charming country house, built around a timber-framed courtyard, dating back to the 16th century. 

Situated in the heart of rural Lancashire, the surrounding countryside has nature trails, walks, reservoirs and landscaped gardens making it the ideal place to enjoy the great outdoors.

The Park Hall Hotel is the venue for the North West's largest antiques and crafts fair held every Sunday.
