Hacking Hall is a Grade I listed, early-17th-century house{{cite web|author=Good Stuff IT Services |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-183492-hacking-hall-with-wall-enclosing-garden- |title=Hacking Hall with Wall Enclosing Garden to North West — Billington and Langho — Lancashire — England |publisher=British Listed Buildings |access-date=2013-04-07}} situated at the confluence of the rivers Calder and Ribble in Lancashire, England.

It is thought that J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings, may have taken inspiration from the ferry here for the Bucklebury Ferry over the Brandywine river in his book, as it was still operational when Tolkien visited nearby Stonyhurst College.{{cite web|author=Name of Establishment |url=http://www.visitlancashire.com/inspire-me/heritage-revealed/lancashires-literary-links |title=Lancashire's Literary Links | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | JRR Tolkien | Brontes |publisher=Visitlancashire.com |access-date=2013-04-07}}
