Parbold Lancashire Map

About Parbold

Parbold rests on the western edge of Lancashire, a place where the land begins to soften towards the lowlands. It lies 4.8 km north of Skelmersdale (from Skelmersdale: bearing 3°T, OS grid SD 490 108), and is situated north-east of Newburgh village. The River Douglas, a quiet artery of the landscape, makes its way through the parish, its banks often fringed with the soft green of reeds. On a clear day, the distant hills of the West Pennine Moors can be seen, their contours a gentle promise of wilder country beyond. Parbold itself possesses a character drawn from its agricultural past, with remnants of old farmsteads hinting at a time when the rhythm of the seasons dictated village life. The local church, St. Jude's, stands as a quiet anchor, its stone warmed by the sun and the passage of generations. Even the air here seems to carry a particular clarity, a light that seems to have travelled unimpeded across the open fields.
