A lovely Market Town in one of the most beautiful corners
of the country- the English Lake District. The town is full of
unique specialty shops which sell a range of goods unrivaled
anywhere in the Lake District, as well as some top high street
names.
There is a strong sense of history about Kendal. The motto
is ‘Wool is my bread’. On a hill over looking the centre of
the town stand the ruins of Kendal Castle. The castle
has dominated the town since the 13th Century, for several
generations home to the Parr family, whose most well known
member Katherin was the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII.
Reached easily from the town center there are fantastic views
of the surrounding area.
For those who prefer modern arts, both the Brewery Arts
Centre and the Abbot Hall Art Gallery have a regularly
changing program of exhibitions. The Brewery Arts Centre also
houses music events, a theatre and cinema screens.
