Kendal is a historic market town located on the edge of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. Known as the 'Gateway to the Lakes,' Kendal offers a blend of rich history, culture, and beautiful scenery. The town is famed for its narrow alleys and historic buildings, including the Kendal Castle ruins, the Quaker Tapestry Museum, and numerous 17th-century cottages. Kendal is also famous for its mint cake, a glucose-based confectionery used by climbers and mountaineers as an energy snack.
Among Kendal's notable attractions is the well-preserved Kendal Castle, offering panoramic views over the town. The Abbot Hall Art Gallery hosts an excellent collection of paintings and sculptures, while the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry provides a fascinating insight into the region's social history. The Brewery Arts Centre, a multi-purpose arts complex, offers a dynamic calendar of events, including cinema, theatre, and music performances. For outdoor enthusiasts, Serpentine Woods is an ideal place for a leisurely walk, with a unique alphabet trail to discover.
Kendal's strategic location offers easy access to several other attractions in the Lake District. It's a short drive to the picturesque village of Windermere and the lake of the same name, the largest natural lake in England. Other nearby highlights include the quaint hamlet of Newby Bridge at the southern end of Lake Windermere, and Far Sawrey, the home of Beatrix Potter's Hill Top. For a change of scenery, the serene landscapes of Ullswater, Buttermere, and Crummock Water are within reach. With its historic charm, vibrant cultural scene, and proximity to the Lakes, Kendal serves as a perfect base for exploring the region.
