Kirkby Stephen

Kirkby Stephen is a village in Westmorland, surrounded by sparsely populated hill country, and about thirty miles from the two nearest large towns, Kendal and Penrith. It is also a market town. The River Eden rises six miles away in the peat bogs below Hugh Seat and passes by, almost unobserved, on the eastern edge of the town.

The civil parish of Kirkby Stephen covers several smaller villages and parishes in the surrounding area, including Nateby, Ravenstonedale and Mallerstang. (Read more)
