I wrote my own lyrics for my visit to Dunsop Bridge. I hope you enjoy it!
Come summer time - you should come here if you can!
Dunsop Bridge is the entrance to the famous Trough Of Bowland - even the late Queen Elizabeth has visited the tiny village of Dunsop Bridge in the Ribble Valley!
With resident ducks and grassy banks it is the perfect place to stop for a picnic or a cup of tea and a cake at the café. Ordnance Survey have declared Dunsop Bridge as the official centre of the British Isles, the famous explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes unveiled the plaque that verifies this. It is often cited as the geographic centre of Great Britain, although the exact point is at Whitendale Hanging Stones, near Brennand Farm, 4+1⁄2 miles (7 km) north of the village.
The village is at the confluence of the River Dunsop and the River Hodder before the Hodder flows south to join the River Ribble outside Clitheroe. The bridge from which the village takes its name consists of two simple arches which span the river.
Paul.
