Kirkby Lonsdale
A picturesque market town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District
Welcome to KIRKBY LONSDALE: a small, vibrant and relatively unspoilt market town situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Flanking the three counties of Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire, the town offers a picturesque base from which to explore the English Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. Named as one of the Best Places to Live in the UK by the Sunday Times, Kirkby Lonsdale itself is a historic, quaint market town with a fantastic reputation for high quality independent shopping, as well as excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs, and superb accommodation.
Here, you’ll find plenty to see and do, as well as popular landmarks like the 14th century Devil’s Bridge and Ruskin’s View – which inspired a painting by artist JMW Turner in 1822, and poet John Ruskin to declare ‘I do not know in all my country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine.’
‘I do not know in all my country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine.’

📍 The Radical Steps
These steep steps in Kirkby Lonsdale connect St Mary's Church and Ruskin's View with the banks of the River Lune, and the walk on to Devil's Bridge.
They were created in the 1820s by local resident Dr Francis Pearson, and once you've walked them, they're hard to forget!
