Dunsop-Bridge, Lancashire

There's lots to see and do in Lancashire. A hot air balloon flight may be perfect for a birthday gift or special celebration.

The village of Dunsop Bridge is situated in the Forest of Bowland on the road between Chipping (to the south) and both Newton and Slaidburn (to the north-west). The River Dunsop flows south to the village and separates the village green from the woodland beyond before flowing east to join the River Hodder.

St Hubert’s Church is said to have been built by the Towneley family from their winnings of the 1861 Derby Winner ‘Kettledrum.’ The village restaurant, shop, and post office is a popular venue for walkers, cyclists and tourists who can relax on the green in the company of local ducks or paddle across the stones in the shallow but fast flowing river. To the south is the village of Whitewell where its small Church and neighbouring building ‘The Inn at Whitewell’ stand above the River Hodder. The Village of Slaidburn is north-east of Dunsop Bridge.

There is a plaque in the village to stating that The Ordnance Survey have officially registered the village as the centre of the British Isles.
