Hunger Hill is a small rural settlement in West Lancashire, in the county of Lancashire, England. Tucked into the flat to gently rolling agricultural landscape of the district, it sits among fields and country lanes and is within easy reach of market towns such as Ormskirk and the larger urban area around Wigan.
Like many hamlets in the region, its roots are agricultural and the local economy today mixes farming with commuting to nearby towns; the evocative name "Hunger Hill" is typically taken to reflect historic hardship or difficult growing conditions rather than a single famous event. Community life tends to be tied to neighbouring villages, their pubs, village halls and network of footpaths, making the area quietly popular with walkers and cyclists who enjoy unassuming rural Lancashire character.
