Not really a walk – perhaps only an hour’s stroll, but wonderful views and a stop for refreshments is good for a relaxing day out. Park in Kirby Lonsdale and find the sign post to the bridge in the south east corner of the square. The walk downhill to the bridge is quite short. The medieval bridge is worth a look  - and you can also have a cup of tea and a bacon buttie to gird your loins as the stall on the bridge is very famous amongst bikers. (We quite often go on the bike to Devil’s Bridge just to sample the fare). But today we’re walking – from the bridge take the bridle path to the North and about a mile along this path brings you to a high bank overlooking the Vale of Lune at a point called “Ruskin’s View” – the view of which he said “I do not know in all my own country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine”.  He was right, too.  Carry on the path to the rear of the churchyard of St Mary’s Church. It is then a short walk back into town. Really just a stroll rather than a walk, but good to burn off a few of those calories. It’s a lovely place –even if it rains it is still worth a visit, but have waterproof footwear to walk by the river.
