Golgotha is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. Situated in the southern part of the county, it is nestled within the picturesque West Pennine Moors, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. With a population of around 500 residents, Golgotha is known for its tight-knit community and peaceful atmosphere.
The village's name, derived from the biblical term for the place of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, reflects its historical significance. Golgotha has a rich history, dating back to medieval times when it was primarily an agricultural settlement. Today, remnants of this past can still be seen in the form of old stone cottages and farm buildings.
Despite its small size, Golgotha boasts a few amenities for its residents and visitors. There is a local pub, The Cross and Crown, which serves as a gathering place for locals and offers traditional British pub food and ales.
