Chorley sits at the southern edge of Lancashire where the flat farmland begins rising towards the West Pennine Moors. This bustling market town has traded goods since medieval times and played its part in the cotton boom that transformed the North West. Eight miles from Preston and blessed with direct motorway links, Chorley combines working Lancashire character with easy access to Manchester, Liverpool, and the dramatic uplands that frame its eastern horizon.

Chorley
Finding Chorley
Chorley occupies a prime spot in central Lancashire, roughly 8 miles south of the city of Preston at coordinates 53.6519° N, 2.6171° W.
The M61 motorway runs past the eastern edge of town, linking directly to the M6 and providing rapid access to both Manchester and the Lake District. The M65 to Blackburn and East Lancashire joins nearby.
Chorley Through Time
Chorley received its market charter in 1498, though settlement here predates written records by centuries. The textile industry transformed the town during the 1700s and 1800s, with cotton mills rising along local waterways. Several Georgian buildings from this prosperous era still stand along Market Street and the surrounding lanes.
The town's character remains proudly working-class, with a strong sense of community and the famous flat market drawing visitors from across the region every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.
Rail and Road Connections
Chorley railway station sits on the West Coast Main Line, offering regular Northern services to Manchester Victoria (around 35 minutes) and Preston (12 minutes). The station also handles services towards Blackpool and Bolton.
Our taxi service fills the gaps rail can't reach—villages, airports, door-to-door convenience when you've got luggage or tight connections to make.
What's On & What's There
The flat market remains Chorley's headline attraction, one of the largest outdoor markets in the North West, spreading across the town centre three days weekly. Astley Hall, a striking Jacobean mansion set in parkland, houses period rooms and rotating exhibitions. Yarrow Valley Country Park offers woodland walks and wildlife watching minutes from the centre.
The West Pennine Moors rise just beyond town, providing excellent hiking territory around Anglezarke and Rivington Pike. The annual Chorley Flower Show draws crowds each August.
Leaving the Car
Town centre parking includes the Flat Iron car park and facilities near the railway station. Market days see higher demand, and on-street spaces fill quickly in the central shopping area.
Choose a taxi instead and sidestep the parking hunt entirely. We drop you exactly where you need to be, no meters to feed or time limits to worry about.

Find Your Vehicle
Whether it's just you with a carry-on or the whole family with holiday cases, we've got something that fits. Have a look through the options below and pick what suits your journey.
Estate Car
Room for 4 passengers and 4 decent-sized suitcases (23kg each). The extended boot handles bulkier luggage, pushchairs, or awkward items that won't squeeze into a regular saloon. Solid choice for families or anyone with more than hand luggage.
Executive Car
Up to 3 passengers with 3 suitcases (23kg limit), or 4 people travelling with just hand baggage. A cut above the standard taxi—comfortable seating, quality finish, and the kind of vehicle that makes the right impression for business trips.
People Carrier
Takes 5 passengers with 5 suitcases (23kg each), or 6 travelling lighter. The extra cabin space means everyone gets proper legroom on longer drives down to Manchester or across to the airports. Particularly useful for family holidays.
Executive People Carrier
All the space of a standard people carrier (5 passengers plus 5 suitcases, or 6 with hand luggage) combined with premium interior quality. For groups who want both room and a bit of class—work trips, celebrations, or simply treating yourselves.
First Class
The best we offer. Leather seating, impeccable presentation, a driver who understands what professional means. For those moments when ordinary transport simply won't do—important meetings, special occasions, or when you just fancy something properly good.
