Parbold is a village and civil parish in West Lancashire, Lancashire, England, sitting on a ridge of the West Lancashire Plain. The prominent sandstone outcrop known as Parbold Hill gives wide views toward the Ribble Estuary and the Irish Sea, and its woods and trails, together with the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal, make it popular with walkers and nature lovers.
Historically the village expanded with 19th-century transport links and the coming of the railway - Parbold station lies on the line between Manchester and Southport - and its economy has roots in agriculture and local quarrying. Today it combines quiet residential and commuter life (with easy access to places like Wigan and regional cities), a small local high street, pubs and community groups, and a characterful mix of sandstone buildings reflecting its past.
