Up Holland is a semi-rural ward on a ridge in the borough of West Lancashire, in Lancashire, England, giving it commanding views over the West Lancashire plain. The area combines green fields and residential streets and sits within easy reach of towns such as Ormskirk and Wigan, making it a quiet local centre with strong connections to larger urban areas.
Historically the ward bears traces of coal-mining and railway-linked industry alongside long-established farming, and there are a few notable historic buildings including a parish church and a distinctive former seminary building. Today the community is a mix of commuters, families and long-term residents, supported by small shops, clubs and village activities that keep a strong local identity despite its proximity to Liverpool and Manchester.
