There's the park at the side of the River Lune. Kirby is on the edge of  the Lake District, near Morecambe Bay. I think there's a butterfly farm down the A65. I can't recommend any eateries other than the burger van at the old bridge!

Too many walks and places to see either towards the coast or back towards the Yorkshire Dales, there are plenty of cheap paper guides for sale in the local shops. In Kirby Lonsdale try the Station House Pottery and Tea Room, you can book short pottery lessons or just watch and enjoy a cuppa. If you like chocolate try the Enchanted Chocolate Mine.

The Settle to Carlisle Railway is well worth a ride, very scenic, not much to see in Carlisle other than the castle but Appleby which is roughly half way is worth a visit.

You've got the 3 peaks, Malham Tarn is nice and Skipton isn't too far away which is a lovely place. You've also got Hawes in the Dales, the Wensleydale Creamery is worth popping into for a snack.

You won't be bored!!
