Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales National Park boundary begins at Kirkby Lonsdale which is just a 15 min drive away. Some bus services run from Lupton and Kirkby Lonsdale, but they are less frequent than the ones to the lakes. The Dales are known for pretty villages, stone walls crossing the landscape, caverns and waterfalls.
Our recommendations
Kirkby Lonsdale
A famously picturesque, historic market town with much to offer. Services include a supermarket, independent shops, pharmacist and Thursday market, along with an amazing brewery and ice cream shop!
You can park for free near Devil’s Bridge, and there’s a lovely walk along the river into the town – so it’s a perfect destination for a potter & lunch!
If you’re around at about 5pm, Lunesdale Bakery sells the things it can’t keep for the next day for 10 for £1 – if you’re fortunate they’ll be scones & custard tarts!
