Spend a memorable night in a striking building converted from a Methodist Chapel - with stained glass windows and original pews. YHA Kirkby Stephen offers a comfortable stay in unique surroundings and is centrally situated in the Upper Eden Valley, nestled between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. The delightful market town sits on the Coast-to-Coast Walk and has an abundance of walking and biking opportunities, while the River Eden and River Tees are fantastic for canoeing. Keen paragliders can make use of a local paragliding centre, new for the 2008 season.

The property itself is located in the centre of Kirkby Stephen with a range of pubs, bars and eating places all within walking distance.
