Welcome to Astley

Astley is a small village located in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire. It is situated on the outskirts of the town of Chorley and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Astley Priors. The village was once home to a priory, which was founded in the 12th century by the monks of the Cistercian order. Today, the priory is long gone, but the village still retains much of its historic charm.

The village is also home to a number of local pubs and restaurants, which serve up delicious food and drink.

Astley is a close-knit community that is proud of its heritage and traditions. The village has a number of local events throughout the year, including the Astley Agricultural Show, which takes place in August and is a celebration of the village's farming heritage. The show features a range of agricultural displays, as well as live music, food stalls, and a funfair. The village also has a number of local sports teams, including a cricket club and a football club, which are popular with locals and visitors alike.
