The county of Nottinghamshire is where we find today's parish which provides the residents of Robin Hood's County with access to Lincolnshire over the River Trent via the A57. However to do so, you must first of all have some money on you, because the bridge that crosses the Trent is a toll bridge, and it's one we've mentioned before in a previous video.
That bridge will cost you 40p if you traverse it using a car, but 60p or £1 if you're in anything larger. Unless you fancy walking it, like I did here, you'll need to stump up some small change. It's a good thing that pedestrians are free as well because from the bridge I got some great views of the Trent, and also the pipe bridge that carries the Elkesley water that supplies the city of Lincoln over the river.
The village is sought after, and it has a lot of caravan parks and static mobile homes. That's because the Trent provides ample opportunities to fish it's rich waters along this stretch, nit only in this parish, but also at Laneham to the North. In times before the bridge, you would have needed to catch a ferry across the water here, and the Trent has always been a busy river with activity all the way along it's course.
Check out St Oswald's church, the little antiques shop, the lovely village hall and the White Swan pub too if you come here, as well as the stunning scenery and beautiful houses that this village possesses. It doesn't have a market anymore, that has long since departed, but according to the Close Rolls in 1330, it had one. It does have a war memorial and a primary school though!
Stop. Pay Toll. Enjoy DUNHAM ON TRENT.
