Kendal, which was earlier known by the name of Kirby Kendal, is an upcoming market town located in the county of Cumbria in England. Kendal earlier used to be a part of Westmorland and now is one of the main centres of attraction in the county of Cumbria. Kendal is also popular for being one of the leading producers of pipe tobacco and Kendal mint cake.
The ancient buildings and houses over here are constructed with local grey limestone, because of which, it has also earned the nickname of Auld Grey Town. Kendal acts as a gateway to Lake District as it is only 30 miles from Keswick and 9 miles from Windermere. It is because of its nearness to all other lakes, that this place is a very popular location for the visitors during self-catering holidays.
Some of the ancient buildings present here are a very valuable part of the history of this town such as the Parish church, located on the river side in Kirkland. The other ancient wonders here include the 14th century Castle Dairy, Kendal Castle and Castle Howe, Abbot Hall Museum, Kendal Museum and a host of churches that exist even today in proper condition.
