THINGS TO DO IN KIRKBY LONSDALE

Once you’ve taken in the magnificent views surrounding Kirkby Lonsdale, (or indeed prior to, if you’re on a romantic evening flight), you’ll discover that the gorgeous little town has so much to offer visitors. Take a stroll down Salt Pie Lane, formally known as Cattle Market Yard, its name changed due to the enterprising spirit of a local lady who sold pies to traders.

Take some time to visit The Vault, home to Kirby Lonsdale’s precious memories and stories safe. Indeed, it is where you can watch seven stories that bring stories of love, tragedy, triumph and local history to life – and once you ‘ve watched and heard those stories, you can explore the town to see where the events took place.

And of course, no visit to Kirkby Lonsdale is complete without a stroll to Devil’s Bridge, an impressive triple arched bridge that dates back to somewhere between the 12^thand 13^thcentury. Be sure to look for the impression on the apex of the bridge, known as the Devil’s Handprint, who legend has it, built the bridge to outwit an old lady to win her soul, but who was instead outwitted by her! Now considered an ancient monument, it is closed to traffic, making it a delightfully peaceful spot to take in the River Lune – almost as peaceful as the basket of your hot air balloon as you drift majestically overhead.
