Dunnockshaw is a small, sparsely populated civil parish in the Borough of Burnley, Lancashire, England, centred on the tiny settlement of Clowbridge and its reservoir. The landscape is dominated by upland pasture, heather moor and water - notably Clowbridge Reservoir - with long views towards Pendle and the Pennines, making it a quiet spot for walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically the area has been agricultural, with the wider district shaped by 19th‑century textile and mining economies in nearby towns, and today it remains a largely residential and rural parish with scattered farms and stone cottages. Local amenities are limited so many residents commute into Burnley, while the community retains a strong village feel and a focus on outdoor recreation and countryside conservation.
