Up Holland is a village and civil parish in West Lancashire, in the county of Lancashire, England. It sits on higher ground above the surrounding plain, giving surprisingly wide views across the Mersey estuary towards Liverpool and the surrounding countryside; the elevated position is reflected in the name.
The village is known for its historic parish church of St Thomas the Martyr and the striking red‑brick complex of the former St Joseph’s College seminary, both local landmarks. Traditionally tied to coal mining and small‑scale industry, today it largely functions as a residential and commuter community with village shops, pubs and active local organisations, while being conveniently close to Skelmersdale and Wigan for wider services and employment.
