Ruskin's View - Kirby Lonsdale

The view of the River Lune from the churchyard is known as Ruskin's View; it was praised by John Ruskin in 1875 as "One of the loveliest views in England, therefore the world" and painted by J.M.W. Turner in 1822. The scene presents a gentle panorama of river, meadow, woods and hills almost in perfect balance
