Kirkby Lonsdale Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

The market square with its impressive monument in the middle is still being used as a weekly market on Thursdays. Apparently this square has been used as a market since the 13th Century.

Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice views. Apparently, there is no record of it ever been built - so it was assumed the Devil built it 🙃. We used to jump off it in younger days, there are now 'bylaw' signs which prohibit it. There is also a burger van if you fancy something to eat or a brew. Massively popular with motorbikers on weekends and in good weather. Free car park opposite from which to start your ride.

On top of the world. Great 360 degree views from here. Either over the fells and further into the dales or other the Lune valley and even out as far as Morecambe bay.

St. Bartholomew's Church, Barbon

Highlight • Religious Site

St Bartholomew's is quite a recent church and was built in 1892-93. Previously there was a chapel of ease on this site from 1610, which was rebuilt in 1815, but all that remains of it is a porch to the north of the present church, which is used as a shed.
