Kirkby Stephen is a small market town in Cumbria, England. It was historically part of Westmorland. It is located on the A685 in the north of the area known as Mallerstang. The River Eden passes east of the town centre.
The town is notable for the large parish church, known locally as the "Cathedral of the Dales", which contains a relief of the Norse god Loki who is shown bound and chained.
The town holds weekly markets and there are a number of antique shops located in the town, which also serves as a base for walking tours of the Dales. The town in mentioned as being located near Devils Hole.
It is served by Kirkby Stephen railway station, on the Settle-Carlisle mainline. This is actually located over a mile from the town itself, as the rail-line avoided dropping right down into the Eden Valley.
