Clitheroe can be found in the
beautiful Ribble Valley in Lancashire, close to
Blackburn and Burnley. The nearby village of
Dunsop Bridge has officially been identified by
Ordnance Survey as the exact centre of the United
Kingdom. The local Tourist Information Centre can be
contacted on 01200 425566 for any further
information.
The town is situated off the A59 which goes to
Skipton and West Yorkshire in one direction and
Preston and the M6 in the other direction.
If travelling direct to the ground from the M6,
leave the motorway at junction 31 and initially
head for Blackburn. At the top of a short dual
carriageway you need to bear left at the Swallow
Hotel towards Clitheroe, soon passing the 2
aeroplanes on your right! Continue along the A59
and carry straight on at the roundabout instead
of going left along the A671 into town. You need
to turn left off the A59 at the next sign for
Clitheroe - watch for the "Information"
and "telephone" symbols. Now head along
Pendle Road, across the mini-roundabout and you'll
need to find a parking space once you see the
postbox on your left. The ground itself is
further along on your right behind the Bridge pub
and the turnstile is up the narrow lane to the
right of the pub.
If travelling from the Skipton end of the A59,
pass through Gisburn and continue along the A59
past the Stirk House Hotel on your right and then
watch for the Auction Mart (A671) signs. You need
to turn right off the A59 here and continue as
far as the roundabout, then turn left past the
hospital and on to the next roundabout near the
petrol station. Turn left then follow the road
round to the right, pass Tesco and then at the
next (mini) roundabout turn left into Shawbridge
Street. The ground itself is then on your left
behind the Bridge pub and the turnstile is up the
narrow lane to the right of the pub. You'll need
to find a parking space along Shawbridge Street.
