Huncoat is a village in the borough of Hyndburn, Lancashire, England, sitting on the eastern fringe of Accrington. It has its own railway station on the East Lancashire Line and good road access via the nearby M65, making it a practical commuter location with straightforward links to Blackburn and Manchester.
Historically Huncoat grew as a coal‑mining and industrial community, and the legacy of that past shapes the local landscape; since the colliery era much of the area has become mixed residential and light industrial. Today it feels like a typical Lancashire village with a small centre, schools and sports clubs, a close‑knit community and easy access to the surrounding countryside.
