There is so much to do, right from our door

Kirkby Stephen is a beautiful old market town with many historic and interesting places to visit.  From the charm of narrow alleyways to the grace of the church cloisters, from the history of the stone Franks Bridge to cosiness of its tea rooms, the town is bursting with attractions.  There are bakeries, bookshops, gift shops and antique shops and the centre abounds with restaurants and excellent pubs.
