Map of the UK

Middop is a tiny, sparsely populated civil parish in the district of Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, set amid rolling farmland and the stone-walled lanes of the Pennine foothills. The landscape is dominated by working farms and traditional stone buildings, giving wide views across the valley and a strong sense of rural tranquillity.

Historically agricultural, the area retains many old farmsteads and field patterns and is governed in the familiar low-key way of very small parishes. Its nearest settlements are Rimington and Gisburn, with the larger market town of Clitheroe providing shops and services; the parish attracts walkers and those seeking a quiet countryside base rather than high-volume tourism.
