Orchard Green
Set by a reservoir on the eastern fringe of Westhoughton, with a sheltering belt of trees separating it from the farmland to the east and a large open space forming a delightful welcome to the development, Orchard Green has a refreshing air of calm retreat. Yet, just two miles from the M61, and with a train station less than a quarter of a mile away, it offers remarkably good commuter access to Liverpool, Manchester and the whole of the North-West.

Local history
Westhoughton, known as 'Howfen' by the locals, was the site of a Civil War battle in 1642, an event commemorated by a mural above the town's Market Hall. The people of the town are traditionally referred to as 'Keaw Yeds' (cow heads in the local dialect), and while there are several competing explanations for the nickname, the most popular dates it back to a local farmer who, when one of his cows got its head stuck in a gate, cut the beast's head off on the basis that it was cheaper to replace the cow than install a new gate.

Entertainment
There is a wide choice of bars and restaurants in Westhoughton town centre, and the wider area offers a broad selection of entertainment opportunities ranging from live concerts at the Bolton School Arts Centre, to the facilities of the Middlebrook Leisure Park, which include a Hollywood Bowl, a sports stadium, a health club and a multi-screen Vue cinema.

Outdoor activities
The open spaces in Westhoughton include Hall Lee Park, a designated local nature reserve situated less than a mile to the north of Orchard Green, and the popular Central Park, scene of the town's annual carnival, where there are bowling-greens, tennis-courts and a children's playground. Around five miles to the south, the 200-hectare Pennington Flash Country Park includes a large lake with fishing and watersport facilities, an important nature reserve, play areas and a network of paths for walking, cycling and horse-riding. Other parks in the area include Risley Moss Local Nature Reserve, around nine miles away, and the Knowsley Safari Park in nearby Prescot.
