Ruskin's View, Kirkby Lonsdale :: SD6179

A view of the river Lune, from just outside the churchyard of St Mary's.
Painted by JMW Turner in 1816, and noted by the poet William Wordsworth as not to be missed.
John Ruskin wrote: "Whatever moorland hill, and sweet river, and English forest foliage can be seen at their best is gathered there; and chiefly seen from the steep bank which falls to the stream side from the upper part of the town itself … I do not know in all my own country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine, or a more priceless possession of true 'Holy Land'."
