Premier Inn Chorley

Chorley is most famously associated with the Chorley cake, a traditional Lancashire delicacy made with shortcrust pastry and filled with currants. The town also has a proud industrial heritage, known historically for its textile mills and coal mining. Beyond that, Chorley is well known for Astley Hall, a stunning Grade I-listed Elizabethan house with period interiors and beautiful parkland. Its long-standing outdoor market, dating back to at least the 15th century, continues to be a key attraction.

Yes, Chorley is a great destination for a relaxed break. Whether you're into heritage, nature or local food, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Spend time at Astley Park, a huge green space with woodland trails, a lake, play areas and a cafe. For walks, you’re on the doorstep of the West Pennine Moors and Rivington Pike, both perfect for hiking and panoramic views. The town centre mixes national retailers with independent shops and eateries, and there’s a lively events calendar that includes Chorley Flower Show, Chorley Live and Christmas markets

Chorley is known for its friendly atmosphere and mix of urban and rural experiences. In addition to the Chorley cake and outdoor market, the town is known for its easy access to canalside walks along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, cycling routes through peaceful countryside, and green spaces like Yarrow Valley Country Park, which is great for wildlife spotting, family picnics and nature trails. Chorley FC has also put the town on the map in recent years with some memorable FA Cup performances.

Chorley is a mid-sized market town, big enough to have modern facilities, transport links and events, but small enough to explore easily in a day or two. You can get from the town centre to countryside walks in minutes, which is part of what makes it a popular base for outdoor getaways.

Yes, Chorley has a walkable town centre. At its heart is Market Street, home to independent stores, cafes, bakeries and high street brands. The Market Walk shopping precinct includes a covered area with shops, a cinema and eateries. There are also regular events in the centre, including street entertainment, craft markets and themed seasonal celebrations. Whether you’re shopping for local produce or grabbing lunch, it’s a great place to wander around.

It certainly does, and it’s one of the best in Lancashire. Chorley Market has been trading for centuries and is still a key part of local life. You’ll find stalls selling fresh fruit and veg, meat, cheese, home-baked goods, clothes, gifts and crafts. The Flat Iron Market, located outside, is joined by a covered market that trades regularly through out the week. Market days bring extra buzz to the town and make a great stop for browsing and sampling local treats.

Yes – lots! If you’re into history, Astley Hall and its surrounding parkland are a must-see, with period rooms, museum exhibits and seasonal events. Yarrow Valley Country Park is another top spot, with woodlands, wetlands and a riverside cafe. If you fancy a challenge, head up to Rivington Pike or explore the West Pennine Moors for scenic walks. Chorley is also good for family days out—parks, playgrounds, and a cinema in town mean there’s always something to do. Look out for festivals like Chorley Live (live music across venues), the Chorley Flower Show or food and drink events throughout the year.

Yes, Chorley railway station is located just a short walk from the town centre. It’s on the Manchester to Preston line, with regular services that make day trips easy – whether you’re heading to the city for the day or arriving in Chorley for a weekend break. Travel times are quick: it’s about 30 minutes to Manchester and just 10 minutes to Preston. The station is well connected and makes Chorley a convenient destination for visitors arriving by train.
