Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
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.

We loved wandering in and around this lovely church, with its surrounding views and ancient graveyard, the stones of which have stories to tell. Most beautiful are the bells that sing out across the town. The bell ringers practise every Friday night, treating tourists to a free concert. While we were there we followed the sound of the bells into the bell tower where we were allowed to watch the bell ringers at work.

With regular music and entertainment evenings Open 7 days a week. Newly installed the coolest COVID safeguarding you will see!
Reviewed By Rossergruffydd - Glasgow, United Kingdom
We searched the town for somewhere relaxed and open on a Monday and nearly gave up. This beer hall is coffee serving as well and was full of families, etc relaxing in a very comfortable atmosphere. A talented visitor was playing the piano and little ones were dancing to it. Coffee was very good as was the food, however the eating thing isn't their strong point, but 'so what' in terms of the overall experience. Watch out for the traffic wardens - a current story is of a warden who was told of a lady lying ill in a shop and fined here anyway. The disgusted owners paid her fine. Almost as bad a Penrith if you go there!

Walked past a dozen times, but yesterday walked in, and what a find. For young children go downstairs and visit the ‘chocolate mine’, and both my (fussy) 8 and 11 year old said the hot chocolate is the best ever! The lady serving was just lovely, very friendly and helpful.
