Dolphinholme, The Lancashire Village Everybody Is Talking About.

Two national accolades, in one very special place to call home. That is exactly what Dolphinholme is celebrating. Tucked into the rolling Lancashire countryside on the edge of the Forest of Bowland – an area of outstanding natural beauty – Dolphinholme has always had a quiet appeal. It is a traditional village – the kind in which you immediately feel a strong sense of community, a classic local pub and beautiful scenery that makes you breathe a little deeper. But lately, this peaceful spot has been making headlines for more than its green landscape.

A super education on your doorstep

Parents often talk about finding the right school for their children – in Dolphinholme, it’s already there. Dolphinholme Primary School, the village’s Church of England Primary School has been named one of the top five in the UK. This accolade was based on Ofsted ratings and the pupil’s outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics. It’s a huge achievement and one that speaks volumes about the care, commitment and spirit that is found within the walls of this village school.

For families that are relocating to Bowland Rise, our development of new build homes in the Lancashire village, it means having a nationally recognised school just a short walk away. No lengthy commutes, no long bus rides and no waiting lists at schools miles away. Just an excellent education, woven into everyday life.

More than just your local.

The Fleece Inn is no ordinary village pub – all you need to do is ask anyone who’s spent a Sunday afternoon there. Lunch by the fire in winter or a drink out in the garden when the sun’s shining. Everybody will say the same about this very special place. Now its owners have got the award to prove it, having been named Best Pub in the North of England by the Countryside Alliance.

From its seasonal menus to typical warm Lancashire hospitality, The Fleece Inn is at the heart of the community and is a real gathering place for the village. It is where neighbours catch up,celebrations happen and where great food and drink are always on hand. Living nearby means you don’t just visit the best pub in the region – it becomes part of your routine.

These recent accolades have only confirmed what the locals already know – that Dolphinholme is a village that gets the important things right. It is a place where children thrive, where community matters and where the pace of life feels just right.
