I am fundraising to help save Ruskin's View. This is an iconic part of Kirkby Lonsdale and since the view has closed the town is impacted as people are no longer able to fully appreciate the beauty of this spectacular area.

Due to continuous and unpredictable erosion from floods, the riverbank is unstable, making the viewpoints and footpath unsafe.The area had to be urgently closed to the public in September, 2021.

Invaluable public access to the cemeteries of St. Mary's Church, The Glebe Field, Cockpit Hill, The Motte, and the Rugby Club have all been shut off.Residents and visitors have lost a beloved community space which has become intrinsic to both our community's heritage and wellbeing.

Loss of a major heritage attraction has a significant impact on our local economy. Without securing funding needed to restore and stabilise the area, Ruskin's View and the footpath will be permanently lost.

In total, we need to raise over £1million to reopen access to the view. We need your help to do this.

I am running The Wall ultra-marathon on the 17th June. This is a 70 mile/113km run to be completed in ONE DAY along Hadrians Wall - from Carlisle to Gateshead. Currently training is going very well and you can follow my journey on instagram here: @claireturnercoaching

Please share any amount for this wonderful cause, we lost so much to COVID but this view should not be one of them.
