Sollom is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated near the River Douglas and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Solham. The name Sollom is believed to have originated from the Old English words "sulh" and "ham," which mean "ploughed land" and "homestead" respectively.

One of the most notable landmarks in Sollom is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 14th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and intricate carvings.

The village is home to a close-knit community that takes pride in its heritage and traditions. Visitors to Sollom can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the village, take a boat ride along the canal, or simply relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
