Kendal

A coach holiday to Kendal brings you to the bustling 'Gateway to the Lakes', a historic grey-stone market town on the River Kent. Long famous for its Kendal Mint Cake — fuel for many a mountain expedition — the town has a lively market, a ruined castle said to be the birthplace of Catherine Parr, and a wealth of characterful yards and ginnels to explore.

Browse the shops and galleries, sample the local produce, and use Kendal as a springboard into the southern Lake District, with Windermere and the fells only a short drive away. It's a friendly, authentic base with plenty of Cumbrian character. Browse our coach holidays to Kendal and let us do the driving.
