Whittle-le-Woods is a picturesque village and civil parish situated in the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, known for balancing a serene, semi-rural setting with excellent accessibility to nearby towns like Chorley and Preston, and it benefits from being bisected by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which features the historic Johnson's Hillock Locks and offers beautiful walking and cycling opportunities.

The village has a strong local community feel and amenities, including traditional public houses and proximity to the Shaw Hill golf course, while its geographical location makes it a prime spot for commuters; this is due to its unparalleled major road links, sitting directly between the M6 motorway and the M61 motorway for easy access to Manchester, Liverpool, and the rest of the North West, and the main A6 road (Preston Road) runs directly through the area, with the village also serviced by bus routes like the 125, connecting it to Preston and Bolton.
