Kirkby Lonsdale is a charming market town nestled in the Lune Valley, between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. the In 2016, the town was a finalist for High Street of the Year. Turner loved this part of the Lune Valley, and Ruskin made it famous with his “view” of the valley. In the countryside, the quiet country lanes are ideal for exploring by car, bike, or even horse. Three golf courses, tennis, riding, fishing, and riverside and country walks make this an ideal location for a break at any time of year. The Sunday Times said Kirkby Lonsdale has “an unbeatable Lake District location, bags of community spirit, and one of the cleanest high streets in the country”.
