Horrocks Fold is a hamlet in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England to the south of Belmont, Lancashire. It is situated on the southern slopes of the West Pennine Moors north of Smithills Hall. Originally a farm and collection of barns and outbuildings, the site was converted to private residences in the early 1980s.
Historically a part of Lancashire, Horrocks Fold is located up an unadopted lane off Belmont Road. Several paths, tracks and nature trails lead to Horrocks Fold Wood, Scout Road, Smithills Hall and Barrow Bridge.
It should not be confused with the Horrocks Fold in nearby Edgworth, which is in Lancashire.
