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.
