At 600ft, it is the highest town on the River Eden and is strung out along its Market Street. The Market Square has a number of buildings of historical and architectural significance. The Cloisters were built in 1810 between the Square and The Parish Church, with the intention of providing shelter for churchgoers and market people. Immediately through the Cloisters is the Trupp Stone, where tithes were paid until 1836. From the Market Square, many narrow winding passageways lead off, some lead down to Frank's Bridge and the River Eden. There has been a market here since King Edward III granted a market charter in 1361. A mile south of Kirkby Stephen is a railway station, a stop along the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway line. Kirkby Stephen is also on the Cumbria Cycle Way and is the central point on Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk-190 miles from St Bee's Head to Robin Hood's Bay. Also see Kirkby Stephen.
