Kendal, Cumbria

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Kendal is a large market town situated on the River Kent, on the eastern edge of Cumbria, and is the southern gateway to the Lake District. Because the town was built largely of grey stone, it received the nickname 'the auld grey town'. Kendal was granted its market charter in 1189, and it relives those days each year during spring bank holiday. A medieval market with pageantry, music, and entertainment takes over the streets with strolling players, jugglers, and jesters, while sellers ply their wares at market stalls. more details ...
