Windy Harbour Lancashire Map

About Windy Harbour

Windy Harbour, a quiet hamlet, breathes the Lancashire air. It lies 4.9 km north-east of Chorley (from Chorley: bearing 42°T, OS grid SD 615 213), and is situated south-south-east of Higher Wheelton village. Though its name might suggest a wilder, more exposed setting, Windy Harbour in truth feels sheltered, its fields often catching the soft, diffused light that filters through the prevailing cloud cover. The landscape here is one of gentle, rolling farmland, crisscrossed by ancient hedgerows, their thorny branches a testament to generations of careful husbandry. A particular beauty can be found in the way the late afternoon sun, when it breaks through, casts long, golden shadows across the patchwork quilt of arable fields. Historically, this pocket of Lancashire would have been shaped by the rhythms of agricultural life, the seasons dictating the labour and the bounty.
