Kendal was the largest town in the County of Westmorland,
before it became part of Cumbria. It was a one of the country's
main manufacturing towns from the 14th Century until the 19th
Century, with many mills on the River Kent. The layout of the
town is characterised by the narrow yards and lanes branching
from the main street. Kendal is an attractive, historical town,
still the centre of a lot of local industry. It is less than a
mile from the National Park boundary and is handy for those wishing
to explore the North Yorkshire National Park. Take a tour of the
