The Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kirkby Lonsdale has a growing reputation. It has always been in a convenient location, situated between the Yorkshire Dales<\/a> and the Lake District.<\/a> It is straightforward and convenient to get to both. In addition the Forest of Bowland<\/a> is nearby and a short drive north will bring you to Sedbergh and the under rated Howgill Fells<\/a>. However in recent years the town itself has smartened up and is now getting a reputation of a good place to say. Interesting independent shops have started trading and there is a good range of cafes, hotels and pubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This walk reflects the attractive village. In addition it showcases the River Lune. It is relatively recently that I have come to appreciate the virtues of Kirkby Lonsdale. Previous visits have exclusively been to enjoy the excellent bacon butties at Devil’s Bridge. There is a newly improved path that runs along the River Lune (suitable for push chairs and wheelchairs) from Devils Bridge<\/a>. Of course the steep Radical steps defy many an able bodied at this stage but the rewarding view near the church was once a favourite of no less than John Ruskin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This walk at Kirkby Lonsdale is a short walk. However it can be extended by following the Lune further north from Ruskin’s viewpoint. Certainly next time you are travelling up the A65 stop and have a walk around the town, don’t just stop for the butty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stay for a mini break in Kirkby Lonsdale instead of just passing, there are some good walks (see below) and the town really does have a good buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
