Kendal
Kendal lies in the valley of the River Kent. It is a lively market town offering a nice change from the peace and quiet of Kentmere valley.
Kendal is excellent for shopping and is distinctive for its small yards, tucked away from the main street, which house specialist shops selling local produce. The usual high street stores can also be found. Booths supermarket is the best place to buy food, including tasty local cheeses. There is a fine art gallery and a swimming pool on the outskirts of the town.
