Tockholes is a small rural settlement and civil parish in Blackburn with Darwen, in Lancashire, sitting on the western fringe of the Pennine foothills. Surrounded by farmland, moorland and the odd reservoir, it offers open views towards Pendle Hill and the Ribble Valley, making it popular with walkers and those seeking quiet countryside close to the towns.
Historically agricultural, the area is characterised by stone cottages, old lanes and a modest village church, with small‑scale quarrying and rural trades having influenced its economy over the years. Today the community remains small and quite close‑knit, with residents tending to balance local village life and conservation of the landscape while many commute to nearby towns for work.
