Kirkby Lonsdale, Market town in South Lakeland, England.

Kirkby Lonsdale sits at the intersection of three counties - Cumbria, Lancashire, and North Yorkshire, with stone buildings lining its streets.

The town received its market charter in 1227, establishing itself as a commercial center where drovers and pack-horse routes connected at the River Lune crossing.

St Mary's Church displays Norman architecture with carved columns, while the adjacent churchyard presents the landscape that Turner painted in 1822.

The weekly Charter Market occurs every Thursday, offering local products, arts, and crafts from regional producers throughout South Lakeland.

Devil's Bridge, constructed in 1370, spans the River Lune with three arches of gritstone ashlar, standing as a testament to medieval engineering.
