The Vale of Lune has been popular with artists in particular Constable and Turner; who painted many of the landscapes in and around the area. The view over the River Lune and the valley has been described by Ruskin as the most beautiful view in England. The town was awarded a National Tourism Award in 1997 for its un spoilt features, including the 11th century Norman parish church. |
