About

Sedleigh and Kirkby Lonsdale ward encompasses a significant area of the western Yorkshire Dales, including the Howgill Fells. The market town of Sedbergh is its focal point, designated as England's Book Town due to its numerous independent bookshops.

The ward extends south to include the historic town of Kirkby Lonsdale, situated above the River Lune. Ruskin's View, overlooking the river bend, is a famed painted landscape. This area serves as a gateway between the Dales and the Lune Valley, with tourism supporting local services alongside traditional farming communities.
