A Location to Love

Set on Dobb Brow Road, Oakridge Park combines the seclusion of a semi-rural setting with excellent connections across the region. Westhoughton itself is a thriving town within the historic county of Lancashire, just 13 miles from Manchester and 5 miles from Wigan. Once a centre for coal mining and textiles, today it is best known for its lively Market Street, where independent cafés, shops, new bars and restaurants bring a real community feel, all just a short distance from your front door.

Well connected by both road and rail, the town is close to two junctions on the M61, has frequent bus services to Bolton, Wigan and Leigh, and is served by two train stations – Westhoughton and Daisy Hill - offering direct services into Manchester in around 30 minutes.

For families, a choice of well-regarded primary schools and nurseries are close at hand, alongside Westhoughton High School. For those seeking independent education, Bolton School and Clevelands Preparatory School are both within easy reach.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the abundance of green space on the doorstep, from Hall Lee Bank Park and Cunningham Clough to Eatock Lodge Nature Reserve. Local golf clubs provide further leisure opportunities, while Rivington Reservoir and the West Pennine Moors, just 20 minutes away, offer scenic hikes, cycle routes, and country pubs.

A little further afield, Bolton town centre is home to major supermarkets, retail parks, restaurants and leisure facilities, with Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park only 15 minutes by car - bringing shopping, dining and entertainment within easy reach.
