Kirkby Stephen is a small market town in the Upper Eden Valley, in the old county of Westmorland, which
is now Cumbria.
The town is located on the A685 (12 miles east M6 Jnc38) surrounded by sparsely populated hill country
and about 25miles from the two nearest towns of Kendal and Penrith. The River Eden rises 6 miles
away in the Mallerstang Valley and passes by the eastern edge of the town.
A traditional market town of historic buildings including the parish church of St Stephen, known as the
‘Cathedral of the Dales’.
Kirkby Stephen was granted a charter from King Edward III in 1530 for a market and two yearly fairs to be
held in the town. This was reaffirmed in 1606 to George Earl of Cumberland by King James I.
Kirkby Stephen serves as a base for tourism in the Eden Valley, especially for walking being on the line of
Alfred Wainwright's ‘Coast to Coast’ walk. The railway station on the scenic Settle-Carlisle line is a mile to
the S.W. of the town.
