^{*************}

^{Pleasington (/ˈplɛzɪŋɡtən/) is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire, England. It had a population of 467 in the 2001 census,[1]reducing to 446 at the 2011 Census.[2]}

^{It is a rural village set on a hillside above the River Darwen. The village was listed in the Domesday Book as Plesigtune, a name which means "a settlement owned by Plessa's People".[3]}

^{Pleasington railway station is on the East Lancashire Line with trains to destinations including the nearby towns of Blackburn and Preston.}

^{The Roman Catholic Church of St Mary and St John Baptist [1] in the village is known as Pleasington Priory and was built between 1816 - 1819 in a Gothic style.[4] It is one of only two Grade I Listed buildings in the borough of Blackburn with Darwen.[5]}

^{Pleasington Old Hall is another historic building, built in 1587,[6] and is Grade II Listed.[7] A nature reserve[2] near the hall was declared in 2006.[8]}

^{Also near the village is Pleasington Playing Fields, a large outdoor sports facility with 12 football pitches[9] opened in 1963 by the Duke of Edinburgh as King George's Fields.[10] Witton Country Park is connected to the playing fields by a bridge over the River Darwen. Overlooking the area is Pleasington Cemetery, the main cemetery and crematorium for the Blackburn area.}

^{Pleasington is on the National Cycle Network Route 6, one of the main national bicycle routes in the UK, which is planned to connect Windsor to The Lake District.}
