Billinge is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of St. Helens in Merseyside, historically part of Lancashire, sitting on one of the higher ridges in the area. The local high ground and wooded lanes give it a semi‑rural feel and there are wide views from the hilltops that attract walkers and offer glimpses across surrounding parts of Wigan and beyond.
Traditionally influenced by mining and quarrying, Billinge today combines that industrial heritage with a commuter‑village character, local pubs, sports clubs and community events. Good road links make journeys into Liverpool and Manchester straightforward, so it remains popular with people seeking village life within easy reach of larger towns and cities.
