Kendal is sandwiched between two National Parks – the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. This traditional market town is full of history and interest, with plenty of restaurants, bars and other forms of entertainment. It is home to Kendal Castle where Catherine Parr, Henry VIII’s sixth wife, lived before moving to London. It is also home to Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal Museum, the Quaker Tapestry Museum, and the Brewery Arts Centre, which has its own cinema and a full programme of events. Events in the town are varied, ranging from the International Kendal Mountain Film Festival to the Kendal Torchlight Procession, both of which are regular annual events.
