Ruskin's View, Kirkby Lonsdale

Ruskin's View, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.
This scene over the River Lune to the Casterton and Barbon fells was admired by Constable and in 1822 was painted by Turner. The poet John Ruskin was also captivated by the view, and wrote, ‘I do not know in all my own country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine… than Kirkby Lonsdale.’
