Good evening! I'd like to say a very special thank you this Sunday evening to everybody for helping the channel reach 4,000 subscribers! It's an amazing milestone that I'm so happy to have seen your support to reaching, and rest assured that over the next week we'll have a couple of very special videos to celebrate :) Now, as for Kirkby Lonsdale, here's a bit of bonus info on the history of the town's name. We mentioned how the 'Kirkby' part relates to Viking settlement in the region, but the 'Lonsdale' actually refers to the Lune Valley, which runs from Kirkby Lonsdale all the way towards Lancaster, where the river becomes tidal before entering the Irish Sea. Also known as the River 'Loyne', the 'Lons' part of Lonsdale comes from the river, and the 'dale' part is the northern English word for a valley!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos - there are so many fascinating towns right across the UK, all with an amazing amount of history and heritage packed in that many might not know about! I've never been to the US myself, though there are certainly some places that absolutely fascinate me - I'd love to make some walking videos across the pond one day too :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words!

I regularly drive along the A65 to the Lake District. The road runs along the edge of the town I didn't realise the town was so interesting. I think I will have to park there and go for a walk around.

It certainly is a fascinating town! There's a lot to see in and around Kirkby Lonsdale, and if you're a regular A65 commuter - I'd also recommend a visit to the delightful village of Clapham a little further south, it's a small but wonderful hidden gem!

That takes me back. When I was in Yorkshire in 2013, a friend who lives in Lancashire picked me up on his motorcycle and took me to a bunch of beautiful places. This is one of them, and there was a bike meet there at the time. The Ribblehead Viaduct was another place he introduced me to. Thanks for the memories!

Wow! That's so cool to hear - I've never seen Devil's Bridge when all the bikers are there - though a journey around this region on the back of a motorcycle must have been really spectacular, the scenery alone is jaw-dropping in places as I'm sure you'll know - especially as you head all the way up towards the Ribblehead Viaduct :) Thank you so much for watching as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories of that great trip!

Marvellous, went there in 2017 on the way to the Lakes, you've shown me a lot more, thank you. When I was there, the market square was being used as a film set for a period drama set in Cornwall, made me laugh. The Swinemarket makes me think of many a village in Trás-os-Montes (beyond the mountains) the northeastern province of Portugal.

Ha ha that's interesting to hear - Kirkby Lonsdale certainly has the quaint edge that can double for a Cornish village, it must have been cool to see the filming! I don't know of Trás-os-Montes as you mention, though it's certainly a unique comparison with Kirkby Lonsdale :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that you got the chance to see some more of the town you once visited!

As for what made me start the channel - I've always enjoyed travelling, but making these videos really helps me to cement anything I learn when visiting a place, rather than just glancing over it on a plaque as I used to do! And it's a real bonus that lots of other people find the same things interesting - so I'm very happy to hear you enjoy the videos :)
