Brindle is home to the Cavendish Arms pub, Saint James's Church of England church, tennis courts and a number of trails and bridle paths. As a beautifully kept parish offering excellent links to nearby towns including business centres such as Preston, Bolton, Chorley and Manchester. Brindle could be described as a commuter village although the village still retains a strong sense of local identity.[citation needed]
