Dunsop Bridge is situated at the heart of the 300 sq.mile Forest of Bowland, "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty", and has been identified by the Ordnance Survey as being the village closest to the centre of the United Kingdom.
The Forest of Bowland's upland fells, with summits above 450m, are dissected by steep sided valleys which open out into rich green lowlands adjacent to the rivers Hodder and Wyre. This is idyllic countryside for walking, whether alongside the rivers, or to higher ground for a panoramic view. Wherever you travel in the Bowland area you'll be sure to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of this unspoilt area of rural Lancashire.
