Sedburgh is a delightful little town with an olde worlde feel. It is England's official book town, so if you're in the market for timeless literature or modern classics, you'll find a shop to suit your tastes. The Main Street and cobbled lanes are well worth exploring. Independent gear shop The Sleepy Elephant (named in honour of Wainwright's description of the Howgills) is a particular highlight.

Sedbergh is surprising. Nestled among the rolling hills of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, it is one of England's leading book towns, with a fine collection of new, second-hand and collectors' bookshops. It has a lot of old world charm, historic houses and cobbled streets. Worth a visit.

I can highlight recommend Smatt's Duo cafe in Sedbergh along with the Black Bull Inn. The both do delicious food for hungry hikers!
