Welcome to Hollins Lane

Hollins Lane is a picturesque and historic road located in the heart of Lancashire. The lane is surrounded by lush green fields and rolling hills, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers. The area is also home to several historic landmarks, including the Grade II listed Hollinshead Hall, which dates back to the 16th century. The lane is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and explore the rich history of the area.

One of the most notable features of Hollins Lane is its connection to the Lancashire Witch Trials. The trials took place in the 17th century and resulted in the execution of ten people who were accused of witchcraft. The accused were taken to Lancaster Castle, which is located just a few miles from Hollins Lane. Today, visitors can explore the area and learn more about the history of the trials by visiting the nearby Pendle Hill, which is said to be the site of many of the alleged witchcraft activities.

Hollins Lane is also home to several charming villages and towns, including the nearby village of Whalley. The village is known for its beautiful architecture, including the stunning Whalley Abbey, which dates back to the 14th century. Visitors can also explore the village's many shops, cafes, and restaurants, which offer a range of local and international cuisine. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an exciting adventure, Hollins Lane and the surrounding area have something to offer everyone.
