KIRKBY LONSDALE is a small 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 as it does the town offers a tranquil and picturesque base from which to explore the English Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. Kirkby Lonsdale itself is a historic, quaint market town with a growing reputation for high quality independent shopping (it was runner-up in the 2016 Great British High Street Awards), as well as excellent restaurants, cafés and bars and superb accommodation.
The Town is notably home to the 14th century Devil’s Bridge, as well as 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.’

🐏 Kirkby Lonsdale has a new resident - and they're pretty spectacular! 🐏
We are thrilled to have a stunning new landmark: a 3m high steel ram sculpture, created and kindly gifted to Kirkby Lonsdale by renowned local sculptor Andy Kay.
The impressive sculpture now stands on the roundabout at the entrance to town (near Booths supermarket). It reflects the heritage of our town and will serve as a symbol of pride ❤
Thank you Andy Kay and all who helped install this special new addition to our town. ... See MoreSee Less
