Location
Kendal is situated in south Cumbria and lies approximately 8 miles from Windermere, 50 miles south of Carlisle and 25 miles north of Lancaster. The M6 motorway junctions 36 and 37 are approximately 6 miles north and south of the centre of the town. Kendal has a resident population of approximately 30,000 but enjoys significant tourist trade throughout the year due to its proximity to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks.
