The Original strong room, in the visitor Information centre in the old bank on main street, Kirkby lonsdale has become a story bank. The safety deposit boxes keep safe films with fascinating characters and stories from the areas past and present. A great attraction and good start to your visit to this beautiful market town
The vault may be located at the back of the Town and Tourist Information Shop, but is well worth seeing if you love your local history in the Lune Valley or your history as it tells you so much about the area even if you are staying nearby or passing through the town as the vault is original as the building itself was a bank. I may have lived in the area all my life and seen two information videos, but will be listening to all of it soon and learning even more information about the famous names and the stories that made Kirkby Lonsdale and the surrounding area well known to so many and is also interactive to so it's great for friends, families, couples, on your own or businesses and anybody who loves history, so it's a great way to introduce yourself to Kirkby Lonsdale as a new person or family in the local area, or as a resident who is proud to live there and know the history of the area you call home or remind yourself of it.

Here to help visitors and locals. Pop in for leaflets, guides and advice from our friendly advisers about the local area of Keswick and around Derwentwater, and around the Lake District National Park.
Right in the middle of town this building used to be a prison. Some very detailed books here and well worth a look in. Staff are very knowledgeable.

They were so friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome to the town and region. We met the Major who allowed us a peep at the 11th Century Moot Hall - fans of Harry Potter will spot the reference. Worth a stay

Open almost every day, the Information and Book Centre welcomes visitors to Sedbergh and the Yorkshire Dales. We have detailed local knowledge and a wide range of maps, walk books and information about attractions. We also have some gifts for sale, many with a Sedbergh theme, and half of our space is given over to second-hand books from a range of dealers, as befits Sedbergh's Book Town status.
The staff are so warm and welcoming - they were full of useful information and lots and lots of choice in terms of maps etc to help you decide what to do on your trip

What an amazing rescue centre this is. This is packed with rescued creatures from pigs to ponies, bulls to swans. All cared for by Mel and her volunteers. I have never seen so many injured creatures all living side by side, well loved. There is a huge array of secondhand books and bric a brac and a remembrance garden for lost pets is being created, all by this brilliant charity. Well worth supporting.

Brockhole on Windermere offers activities to suit everyone, from toddlers to adventure seekers to those in search of an ultra-relaxing experience whilst enjoying their time in the Lake District. It's all here in one place, set against stunning mountain views on the shores of Windermere in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria. From family activities to glorious garden tours and seasonal events, there really is something for all ages. Why not explore 30 acres of beautiful historical gardens and grounds? Or picnic by the lakeshore and enjoy secret beaches with the family? If the children are feeling more adventurous they can swing or bounce through ancient woodland on Treetop Trek and Treetop Nets. Down by the lakeshore, you can hire kayaks and rowing boats, enjoy or catch the cruise boat across the lake, depending on the season. There's also archery, bike hire and mini golf on offer during the season. Don't forget to finish your day by taking in the stunning lake views offering stunning views towards the distant Langdale Pikes at the terrace café, while enjoying local ales and dishes. There's also a well-stocked gift shop and ever changing exhibition space to enjoy indoors.
Came here today on a wet and wild day but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm there is something for everyone here from den building woodland walks boat rides and archery which I would highly recommend the girl running it must of had the patience of a saint due to my cack handedness it cost £10 for a 45 minute session but is great fun once you get the hang of it there are also plenty of adventure playgrounds to burn off those cakes from the cafe also a zip wire and a tree top trek for the more adventurous also plenty of picnic areas as the cafe's are a little pricey
