Cumbria
The home of the Lake District, only 15 miles west of Kirkby Lonsdale. This is the area William Wordsworth considered to be "The loveliest spot that man hath ever found" . The Lake District became a National Park in 1951, and with an area of almost 900 square miles (2330 sq km) it is the largest in England and Wales. More picturesque and diverse scenery can be found here than in any comparable area of Britain.
Yorkshire
The Yorkshire Dales National Park is just 7 miles to the east, an area of fells and dales - James Herriot's Yorkshire. Walking is a favourite pastime in these areas with the Coast To Coast Walk and the Pennine Way both passing through the region.
Kirkby Lonsdale
Nearby is Kirkby Lonsdale a historic market town which has been visited over the years by several famous artists. In 1816 J W Turner visited the town as part of his tour of the dales. Wordsworth had recommended him to see the Lune Valley from the churchyard and the painting "Kirkby Lonsdale Church yard" was a result of this visit. When possible, John Ruskin used to visit the sites of Turners paintings and was greatly taken by the town. Ruskin's View is one of the attractions of Kirkby Lonsdale and the "Church yard " painting includes this view.
