The source of the river is in the hills near Heapey.

Subsequently, the young stream flows through Chorley North Industrial Estate, past B&Q and then underground to enter Astley Park from under Park Road.

The river exits at the Southport Road end of the park, flowing behind Chorley Nissan and through Big Wood at the foot of Stansted Road, before connecting into Gillibrand Reservoir.

At the end of the reservoir, the river continues for approximately one hundred metres and flows into the River Yarrow.[1]

Der River Chor ist ein Wasserlauf in Lancashire, England. Er ist zuerst im Südwesten der Anschlussstelle 8 des M61 motorway im Norden von Chorley sichtbar. Er fließt zunächst oberirdisch in südlicher Richtung bevor er unter die Oberfläche verlegt wird. Er tritt im Osten des Astley Park erneut an die Oberfläche und fließt nun in westlicher Richtung zunächst durch den Park, um sich an dessen westlichen Ende nach Süden zu wenden. Er mündet schließlich im Westen von Chorley in den River Yarrow.
