Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of the larger towns in Cumbria and a gateway to the Lune Valley. The Victorian writer John Ruskin extolled Kirkby Lonsdale for its 'sweet river', and just north of the town is 'Ruskin's View', a beautifully scenic lookout. Kirkby Lonsdale was settled in Roman times, and an old Roman road runs through the town. There also some attractive Georgian houses, and the 15th century 'Devil's Bridge' across the Lune, said to have been built by the Devil himself. Author Charlotte Bronte attended school at nearby Cowan Bridge.
