The scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway is 1 mile away and the Coast to Coast and Lady Annes Highway footpaths run through the town.

Kirkby Stephen has highly regarded primary and grammar schools, as well as a good range of shops, restaurants, pubs, church, chapel and doctor's surgery. There is a weekly outdoor market and an thriving agricultural mart. There are also excellent sports facilities in town with cricket, football and Upper Eden rugby club.

Turnover could easily be increased by extending opening periods, offering evening meals, afternoon teas and further advertising or outside catering.
