  Kendal is a market town lying at the southern entrance to the Lake District, a very hilly and scenic area in the north of England, with a long mining tradition and many sheep. It has been a main market town for many centuries and was famous for its woolen trade.

Kendal itself has many attractions with different zoos, Beatrice Potter exhibitions, steam trains, and sheep shearing events. It also has a large indoor leisure centre for all the family to enjoy. In the area there are several castles and many picturesque villages to visit.


 
How to get there:

For those traveling by car, you will find Kendal along the M6 motorway, which runs from Manchester to Carlisle and on to Glasgow in Scotland. You take route 590 from exit 36 and continue on to route 591.
