We recently visited Astley Hall near Chorley. It’s a great location for a family day out. Plenty of open spaces, bowling green, children’s park, woodland trails, cafe and gardens. Well worth a visit, don’t forget to take your camera. I did, so took these on my phone.

Croston is a village and civil parish in Lancashire, England near Chorley. The River Yarrow flows through the village. We had the pleasure of popping into the village on our drive through to Southport on a lovely summers day. I took a few photos of the village using my mobile phone camera, hope you enjoy them.

White Coppice is a hamlet close to Chorley, Lancashire, England. It is part of the township of Anglezarke. It was a glorious day when we first visited it, and here are a few photos of the areas we took while there, taken entirely on mobile phone.

Had a lovely walk in Sankey Valley, through to Carr Mill reservoir today. Great to have the sun shining for a change, and somewhat milder temperatures. Well worth a visit, if you’re looking for somewhere new to spend time with the family.  All photos taken on mobile phone only.
