Dunsop Bridge

There are numerous places that claim to be located at the very centre of the United Kingdom but, according to the Ordnance Survey, the official centre of the Kingdom is in the parish of Dunsop Bridge just a short walk from the village centre.

Dunsop Bridge is the perfect place for those who love to explore local landmarks and admire the breath-taking views this stunning place has to offer.

Open every day for visitors, St Hubert’s Church is a small but magnificent church which was built to the design of Edward Pugin, from, it is believed, the winnings of the racehorse Kettledrum in the Derby 1861. A particular treat through the summer months are the home-made teas in the village hall served by local volunteers with the proceeds going to the church fund.

Puddleducks is a much-loved local cafe located in this quaint village, offering a delicious menu of homemade English classics, including corn beef, hotpot and cheese and onion pie, which go perfectly with one of their tasty homemade cakes.

Glenda, who runs Puddleducks with her partner Tony, said that her favourite tale since being a member of the Puddleducks team was, ‘when Larry Lamb and TV celebrity Maureen Lipman visited and were filming a production outside the cafe.’ She also added: ‘Dunsop Bridge is a truly lovely place to live, filled with lovely people’, and ‘the Telegraph Travel Editor said it’s certainly worth calling in Puddleducks for one of the bacon butties!’
