Kendal

Kendal Essentials

Kendal, the 'Auld Grey Town,' serves as a historic gateway to the Lake District. This collection highlights its limestone architecture and medieval history, including the 12th-century Kendal Castle ruins and the Castle Dairy. Cultural sites include the 1759 Abbot Hall Art Gallery and the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry. The town's spiritual heritage is preserved in the five-aisled Kendal Parish Church and the 1816 Quaker Meeting House, while the Brewery Arts Centre provides a modern hub for cinema and performance.
