Welcome to Doffcocker

Doffcocker is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of Bolton and is known for its beautiful countryside and scenic views. The name Doffcocker is believed to have originated from the Old English words "dof" meaning "dove" and "cocc" meaning "hill". The village is surrounded by hills and is home to a number of walking trails and nature reserves.

One of the most notable landmarks in Doffcocker is the Doffcocker Lodge, which is a Grade II listed building. The lodge was built in the 19th century and was originally used as a hunting lodge. Today, the lodge is used as a community center and is a popular venue for weddings and other events. The lodge is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is a popular spot for picnics and walks.

Doffcocker is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Doffcocker Old Hall. The hall was built in the 16th century and is a Grade II listed building. The hall is now used as a private residence and is not open to the public. Despite its small size, Doffcocker is a charming village with a rich history and plenty of natural beauty to explore.
