The attractive market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is a delightful gem and honeypot destination.
Set on the banks of the River Lune, the town’s narrow streets reveal a magical mix of 17th and 18th century buildings, charming shops, and enticing bars and restaurants. There’s even a micro-brewery. Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery produces a wide range of craft ales including Single Track, Devils Bridge and Jingling Lane – all local place names. There are many independent retailers and boutiques in Kirkby Lonsdale and so it has become a real destination for gift and Christmas shopping.
The elevated vantage point over the River Lune offers a stunning opportunity to view the magnificent countryside so admired by Ruskin and immortalised as “Ruskin’s View”. Spanning the River Lune is Devils Bridge which dates back to the 12th Century and is now a scheduled ancient monument.
There are numerous walks across the fells and Dales of the area whilst golfers will enjoy the courses at Casterton and Kirkby Lonsdale which are popular with locals and visitors alike.
