Positioned between the National Parks of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales is the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. The town makes a great base from which to explore both of these beautiful and scenic areas. There has been a settlement here since ancient times - the town is included in the Doomsday Book of 1086. One of the town’s most famous attractions is the Devil’s Bridge, which dates back to the 12th or 13th century, the three arched bridge across the River Lune is now classed as a scheduled ancient monument. Famous throughout the north of England is the Victorian Fair held in the town each September with its lively street atmosphere, traditional street vendors in Victorian costume and plenty of entertainment and demonstrations. One of the town’s newest attractions is the Enchanted Chocolate mine, accessed via the Chocolat shop in New Road. Explore the secret world underground, and admission is free. Pop into the Station House Pottery Workshop and Tearooms where you can design, paint and bake your own plate to take with you. This is, of course a fantastic area for walking, cycling or horse riding, there being lots of routes close by the town. The market towns of Sedbergh and Kendal are just a short drive away and well worth visiting. Slightly further afield, why not take a day trip to Bowness with its many shops and cafes and then have a cruise along Lake Windemere. If the fancy is for a day at the beach then it is only a short journey to the charming seaside resort of Grange over Sands.
