A village tucked away in West Lancashire has been popular with people from Liverpool for decades.
Parbold is just north of Skelmersdale and is a picturesque area that boasts local shops, pubs, beauty spots and an ice cream van overlooking the Pennines. The earliest reference to the village was made in the 12th century, according to Parbold Online. At the time Parbold was owned by Robert de Gresle, the old baron of Manchester who died in 1230.
The oldest surviving buildings are from the 17th century, which include stone houses and manor cottages. One of Parbold’s main attractions is Fairy Glen, a popular walking spot which is perfect for hikers, locals and tourists who want to get lost in the beauty of the English countryside and spot a secret waterfall along the way.
