Before the first bridge was ever built at Edisford this was an important crossing point of the River Ribble.
Foot and cart traffic could pass by fairly easily on the route out of Clitheroe to Lancaster via Edisford.
The original medieval bridge was built in 1339.
It was widened in the 1800s but still contains much of the original medieval elements.
Today Edisford Bridge is still part of a vital route in and out of Clitheroe as well as being a well loved local ‘beauty spot’. For generations it has been known to campers, walkers and picnickers alike. It’s well catered for with a large visitor car park on one side of the river and the Edisford Bridge Inn on the other side.
