Rufford is a small village and civil parish in West Lancashire, Lancashire, England, sitting a few miles west of Ormskirk and east of Southport. It has a distinctly rural feel, with farmland, country lanes and parkland that make it popular for local walks and wildlife watching rather than heavy industry.
The village is best known for Rufford Old Hall, a moated Tudor manor set in attractive grounds that draws visitors and community events; that historic centre gives the place a strong sense of local identity. Economically it remains largely agricultural and residential, with many people commuting to nearby towns, while a small but active social life revolves around the hall, village facilities and seasonal gatherings.
