A small market town in Cumbria with a wealth of history
The town centre is small, but contains ample shops for all of the essentials you may require. I'm pleased to say that there isn't a Boots, Dixons and Tesco Metro in the town centre, rather a traditional butcher, ironmonger, baker, greengrocer and chemist. There is also a Dales National Park tourist centre to help you to decide how best to spend your time in and around Sedbergh. However, should you feel the need of some "full-on shopping therapy", the major centre of Kendal is only 10 miles away.
In May 2006, Sedbergh was officially recognised as England's only Booktown. This brings together a number of businesses based on writing, reading, publishing and so on, as well as bookshops (and bookshelves in just about every other shop), many concentrating on selling second-hand books. To book enthusiasts Sedbergh is a treasure chest just waiting to be opened.
