Castle Hill, Kendal, LA9 6BF
Castle Hill dominates the skyline of Kendal.
It was built in the 13th century as a home for the barons
of Kendal. Today it is a very popular attraction and unique
historic monument. There are interpretation boards on site and
information leaflets available from the Tourist Information Centre
at Kendal Town Hall, as well as interactive media in Kendal
Museum.
The hill provides commanding views of the fells and
surrounding countryside, as well as across the townscape of Kendal.
The area is popular with walkers, children and provides ample space
for outdoor activities. Car parking is available on Castle Drive,
although the castle is within walking distance of the town centre
car parks.
