Kendal Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The ruins of an early 13th century castle overlooking the River Kent. Two towers and stretches of the curtain wall remain of this, the family home of the Parr's for four centuries. The most famous of the Parr family was Katherine Parr, sixth and final queen to Henry VIII. Footpaths lead through fields and woods below the hill, making for enjoyable walks. One mile away is Castle Howe, an earthwork Norman motte and bailey fortification.
