Nice views. Apparently, there is no record of it ever been built - so it was assumed the Devil built it 🙃. We used to jump off it in younger …

Devil's Bridge Over the River Lune

Highlight • Viewpoint

Kirkby Lonsdale is a pretty little town often missed by the public as they skirt it on the A65. Lots of little shops and cafes around the market place and welcoming of bike riders. Well worth a break.

The market square with its impressive monument in the middle is still being used as a weekly market on Thursdays. Apparently this square has been used as a market since the 13th Century.
