Where to Wander: Kendal Town Trails

We like to help you explore the area whilst you’re staying with us. For those of you that can get out on foot, we hope our monthly walks help give you a little inspiration whether you visit us weekly, monthly or just once a year.


If you would like to combine your next walk with a bit of heritage and culture then this months walk will be for you.

The nearby town of Kendal is a market town on the edge of the Lake District and only around 30 minutes drive from our park. Combine you walk with an opportunity to pop into the shops or grab a bite to eat in an independent café.
