Enjoy a happy retirement in Leyland
In the nearby town of Chorley is Astley Hall. Dating back as far as the 1570s, with major additions in the 1600s and 1820s, the hall is a Grade I listed building with a fascinating history, with William Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell both having stayed here. It houses a museum and art gallery brimming with items of local historical interest. Visit the hall to discover more of its history, full of plots and religious turmoil. Marvel at the hall’s stunning architectural features and admire the beautiful artwork and furniture on display, most of which were collected by the families who lived here.
Things to do in Leyland
For both seasoned and new golfers alike, Leyland Golf Club is also under a mile away. As well as the 18-hole parkland course, a large practice area is available, with a practice bunker, chipping facilities and a 9-hole putting green. The club is happy to accept new members and also welcomes visitors.
Also in Leyland is the British Commercial Vehicle Museum. From horse-drawn vehicles of the 1880s and the first steam-driven wagons to modern lorry cabs, the museum has over 60 historic vehicles on display. A meander through this small museum may take longer than you might expect, with so much to explore. Climb aboard a vintage fire engine, discover how developments in motor vehicles have made the roads safer today and even see the Pope-mobile, specially built for Pope John Paul’s visit in 1982.

We just had a small property to sell and because you can buy a percentage, it worked out for us.
