The civil parish of Downholland sits in the district of West Lancashire in the county of Lancashire, in north‑west England. It is a largely rural area of scattered villages and hamlets, including Haskayne and Downholland Cross, lying close to the border with Merseyside and within easy reach of the market town of Ormskirk.
Characterised by farmland, green lanes and low‑lying mossland, the parish has a long agricultural history and a small, community‑minded population with village halls and local events. Many residents commute to nearby towns and Liverpool, while walkers and cyclists enjoy the quiet roads and traditional farmsteads and listed buildings that hint at the area’s historic rural roots.
