Towns & Villages
Kirkby Lonsdale is a market town in the south east corner of South Lakeland and is on the border with Lancashire and Yorkshire. It is one of the few settlements mentioned in the Doomsday Book from Cumbria and described as Cherchibi (village with a church).
The town developed as a crossing point of the river where a number of drovers and packhorse routes converged. The town was granted its market charter in 1227 and weekly markets grew with livestock and other wares attracting people from around. By the early nineteenth century the market had begun to get congested and so it was moved to its current location in the Market Square where it remains to this day.
The town today is thriving with the Main Street and Market Street enjoying a mix of independent retailers with their shops in elegant Georgian buildings and mixed with hotels and public houses. It has a wide range of amenities and facilities enjoying a supermarket, a recently built health centre, dentists and pharmacy. The local schools are well regarded with St Marys being the primary School and Queen Elizabeth School being the secondary school. There are many different clubs and societies with rugby cricket hockey and football all having teams. Kirkby enjoys a lovely setting with the River Lune only a short walk away from the town centre and with Devils Bridge an attraction.
The A65 is nearby and the M6 only 5 miles away so Kirkby Lonsdale is a popular visitor destination and well located for those that want a family life outside cities but who are prepared to travel to work.
