A historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th Century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park, this is a superb base for a relaxing break.
