Chapeltown
Chapeltown, situated in North Turton, is a quaint and picturesque village nestled in the heart of the what was the Lancashire countryside, now Blackburn and Darwen, England.

The village is reminiscent of a bygone era, with its historic buildings, stone walls, and narrow lanes winding through the beautiful landscape. Historically, the village has seen a fair share of activity, particularly during the industrial revolution when the wider Lancashire area was a hub for the textile industry.

Today, its rich heritage, combined with the serene natural environment, makes it a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. Whether it’s a peaceful walk through the green expanses, a visit to one of its traditional pubs, or a day spent exploring its history, Chapeltown offers a unique blend of the old and the new.
