Dibbinsdale features a number of Bridges. As far as we know only the LADY BRIDGE has an official name. Have you got a name for any of the other Bridges?
This Clapper Bridge is probably the most historic in Dibbinsdale, its on the Lancelyn owned area of Dibbinsdale. Rowan Patel has written an excellent article SANDSTONE BRIDGES ON THE RIVER DIBBIN AND TRIBUTARY STREAMS
The Friends open the walled garden every 3rd Saturday of each Month 11:00am – 3pm.
We hold various events depending on the time of year. We are also keen to encourage people to enjoy nature and relax. Bring a pic-nic.

Brotherton Park and Dibbinsdale
Located on the Wirral Peninsula between the Mersey and the Dee on the eastern side, near the Mersey. Brotherton Park is the former parkland surrounding the site of a Victorian “Villa” named Woodslee. It has many fine exotic trees and a walled garden containing an orchard & tree nursery. Dibbinsdale is the valley containing the river Dibbin. Once the boundary between the Saxon South and the Norse North. It is now on the boundary between urban housing and farmland. It consists of an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), Ancient Woodland, reed beds and a meadow field.
Be aware that if it has rained heavily in the previous 24 hours some paths, especially the tunnel under the railway can be many inches deep in water & the path surface damaged.
