The city
What to expect from Kendal.
Market town on the banks of the River Kent, at the southern gateway to the Lake District, known for its grey stone houses and the narrow alleys called yards. It gives its name to the Kendal mint cake, the sugar-and-mint tablet taken by mountaineers. It has the ruins of a castle, the Abbot Hall gallery and, a few kilometres away, the historic houses of Sizergh and Levens Hall.
