Kendal is a large town, said to be the largest in the south lakes district.  There's a castle ruin above the town, the parish is said to be the widest in England, it's where the famous Kendal Mint Cake originated (went to top of Everest), it has a great market, it has a large artist community and has several other notable points of interest.  

First erected in the 13th century, Kendal Castle is said to be the birthplace of Catherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth wife.

This is the largest part of the ruin.  Off to the left (out of view) is what remains of the tower, you can see part of the wall to the right.  The wall continues around the inner compound and the moat has dried up.  

This is a view looking up main street.  The center of town opens up to the market place and is often restricted to traffic.

This arch opens to one of the parks.  Double click on the image, zero in on the center of the arch and check out the view.
