Close by are many tourist attractions including Camelot Theme Park, Hoghton Tower (where William Shakespeare is reputed to have worked as a teacher), Astley Hall, and the beautiful countryside at Rivington Pike and Country Park, which served as host to the Manchester XVII Commonwealth Games Outdoor Cycling events. . The town boasts a clean and thriving urban environment with many pretty surrounding villages like Heskin, Croston and Mawdesley well worth the visit.
There is also Coppull nr Chorley which boasts the home of the 'Jewel' in Chorley's crown...'Yarrow Valley Country Park' a paradise for walkers and wildlife lovers.

Smiling is infectiuos you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile then I realized its worth, A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!
