I wanted to go shopping in Kirkby Stephen. Kirkby Stephen is a small market town about 5 miles off the A66. This is the road you travel across the country on from the A1 at Richmond in the east to Penrith and the M6 in the west. It is a fantastic road with amazing views and small towns, villages and a few castles.
Travelling along the road last Monday we did a detour for some lunch and to do a little shopping in Kirkby Stephen. I have not been there before and after a good lunch had a look at the shops. It was so wet I didn’t take any pictures of the town itself as it was a case of dash into the next doorway.
