🚗Kirkby LonsdaleStart Point

Kirkby Lonsdale is a quietly elegant market town on the River Lune, where Ruskin declared the view from St Mary’s churchyard one of the finest in England. The Lune valley stretches away to the north through some of the most beautiful and least-visited countryside in the north-west.

A superb small town with excellent independent shops, a thriving Sunday market and the famous Avanti restaurant, Kirkby Lonsdale makes a refined and very enjoyable walking base for the Lune Valley and the eastern Howgills.
