The view of the River Lune from the top of the “Radical Steps” (SD6178 : Kirkby Lonsdale, "The Radical Steps") is known as Ruskin's View. The scene, with its pleasing balance between the River Lune, the farmland, the woodland and the distant hills of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, was praised by John Ruskin LinkExternal link as "One of the loveliest views in England" and was painted by Romantic watercolourist JMW Turner LinkExternal link
