Eagley is a small village located in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, in Greater Manchester, England. It's found on the southern edge of the West Pennine Moors, a beautiful area of hills and open land.
Eagley is part of an area called South Turton. This area is "unparished," meaning it doesn't have its own local parish council like some other villages do.
