Perched above the meandering River Lune where you can enjoy Ruskins View and Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale enjoys stunning views of both Ingleborough and the Howgills. Kirkby Lonsdale is a blend of picture perfect stone cottages, cobbled courtyards and elegant 18th century buildings, linked together by little lanes and alleyways with evocative names like Jingling Lane.
In the centre, the small market town is filled with independent shops and cafes in which you can potter, browse and relax.
Each Thursday you can enjoy ambling round the Charter Market in the market square.
The location of the Sun Inn in Kirkby Lonsdale on the borders of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland makes it accessible to some of England’s finest scenery and beautiful locations.
Whether you enjoy romping through the countryside, ambling round pretty villages & towns or enjoying some more active adventures on the water; our proximity to Ingleton, Sedbergh, Windermere, Bowness and Morecambe Bay, means we are perfectly placed for your visit.
There is plenty to keep Sun Inn guests occupied during their stay. A great selection of amazing houses and gorgeous gardens within a short drive of the Sun Inn include Levens Hall, Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle and the fabulous Lancaster Castle. Also within easy reach is Blackwell, Holker Hall and Rydal Mount in the Lake District.
Other great days out include Ingleton Water Falls, Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve, Ingleborough Caves, The Wensleydale Creamery and Hawkshead Brewery to name but a few!
Each of our eleven bedrooms has been designed with fastidious attention to detail with comfort and elegance as standard.
