The Area:
Only six miles from the M6 and conveniently located for access to both the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District national parks, the ancient market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is famous for its hospitality. With a variety of restaurants, cafés, takeaways, lively pubs selling award-winning and locally brewed ales and the famous Lunesdale Bakery right in its centre. There are many other award-winning pubs and restaurants dotted around the surrounding countryside, some of which get booked up very quickly, so we advise you secure your reservation as soon as possible.
Along with its many and varied shops, Kirkby boasts a branch of the amazing northern supermarket, Booths, selling both the finest picks of local produce and all your familiar supermarket brands and open until 10pm every night and 4pm on Sunday.
Transport Links:
Although Kirkby Lonsdale is surrounded by the green countryside typical of the South Lakes and Dales, it is well connected to local transport. There are mainline railway stations at Lancaster, 16 miles away and Kendal (Oxenholme), 13 miles away. The M6 junctions 35 and 36 are within 6 miles and the A65 from Kendal to Skipton runs right past the town. There is a regular bus service (the 567) between Kirkby Lonsdale and the lovely town of Kendal and services 80 and 81 from the City of Lancaster and continuing up to Ingleton in North Yorkshire.
Kirkby Lonsdale is often used as a base for cycling tours into the surrounding countryside and the truly spectacular Yorkshire Dales National Park.

There is parking in the shared courtyard for one car. This is accessed via a width and height restricted cobbled archway from Market Square.

Further paid parking can be found in the Market Square, at Booths Supermarket or in the New Road Car Park.

Please notify us if you intend to use the EV charger during your stay so we can share the charger's PIN number with you.
