Welcome to North Turton
Information Site
We are made up of three villages – Edgworth, Chapeltown and Belmont
North Turton is an area made up of small villages and hamlets. It is part of the area formerly known as “Turton UDC” (Turton Urban District Council). Historically, Turton was the largest of the townships in the ancient parish of Bolton-le-Moors, before being split into two separate areas on the 1st of April 1974, which then became North Turton and South Turton.
Today, the three villages that make up North Turton are Edgworth, Chapeltown and Belmont. Additionally, small hamlets in the area are made up of Entwistle, Quarlton, Round Barn, Turton Bottoms and Whittlestone Head.
The area is situated 6½ miles to the north of the busy town of Bolton. Interestingly, the economy of North Turton is based mainly on agriculture, along with many small self-employed businesses.
Conveniently, the area is serviced by a busy commuter railway line from Blackburn to Manchester, but unfortunately with only one railway station open (Entwistle) although only at certain times in the day.
