Kendal Castle's romantic ruins sit high on a gentle hill above the market town, boasting stupendous views of both the town and beyond to the tumultuous Lakeland skyline.

Built at some point in the 12th century, it was the home of the barons of Kendal. The Parrs were the most renowned of the baronial families; Katherine Parr, in particular, found fame as the last of Henry VIII's queens. During the reign of the Tudors, the fortress fell into ruin and has remained so ever since.

Great walk up to the castle and within easy reach from the Town Centre.
