Kendal Tourist Information & Visitors Guide
Situated to the south of Windermere, just off the M6, Kendal is a gateway to the Lake District and is a great base for touring. Overlooking Kendal sits the 12th century ruins of Kendal Castle, well worth a visit, with splendid views of Kendal and the surrounding countryside. Meander the narrow cobbled streets with grey stone buildings to find galleries, museums and shops.
