The former Stainmore Railway, now a surfaced multi-user path, has some lovely walking along its length. The Northern Viaducts Round follows just over a mile of the former Stainmore Railway, which once linked the coalfields of South Durham with the iron and steel industries of the Furness district of Lancashire and West Cumberland.

This was a fortified house, built around 1415 by the Wharton family. The family extended the property in the mid-16th century. A deer park was established, requiring the relocation of an entire village nearby. This is a Grade-I protected building these days, as well as a scheduled monument. Appreciate from the outside: this is a private property (the north and west side of it is used nowadays as a farm; the rest is ruins).

The Millennium Bridge was completed in 2002. It is 65 feet long and 42 feet above the raging River Eden below. It's a spectacular spot.

Kirkby Stephen Parish Church is often called the "Cathedral of the Dales" and, in Cumbria, only Kendal Parish Church is larger. The first was built in Anglo-Saxon times; it was replaced in 1170 by a Norman church. This was replaced by the present building in 1240 and has been altered in the centuries since, being partly rebuilt in 1847 and restored in the 1870s.
