About Kendal
Kendal, a grey limestone market town on the River Kent, is a southern gateway to the Lake District, with narrow yards, a fine art gallery and mint cake.
Kendal is a market town on the River Kent in Cumbria, built mostly of grey limestone, which earned it the nickname of the Auld Grey Town. Its wool trade made it rich from the Middle Ages: the cloth called Kendal green was famous enough to be named by Shakespeare, and the town's motto means cloth is my bread. Narrow alleys called yards run off the main street beneath arches.
