Bowling Fell, Kendal, LA9 4HT
Bowling Fell is situated on Kendal Heights overlooking the town
and is steeped in Kendal history. The park is close to the town
centre car parks and Beast Banks.
Bowling Fell is the site of Kendal's first castle, the
remnants of the bailey and motte are still there today at what is
known as Castle Howe. An obelisk was put in place in 1788 to
commemorate the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
Kendal Civic Society think that Bowling Fell was Kendals first
official park and was used as a bowling green for a game that
would be similar to boules. It is a scheduled monument of historic
importance and offers excellent views of the Kendal
skyline.
