Kendal Walk: Town Centre【4K】

In England's most northwesterly county of Cumbria is the town of Kendal.

It lies on the River Kent on the outskirts of the mountainous Lake District in what was originally the county of Westmorland prior to uniting with Cumberland to form Cumbria in 1974.

The town is known for its production of pipe tobacco and snuff. Its nickname is the Auld Grey Town in reference to the grey limestone buildings. Another claim to fame is the Kendal mint cake named after the town. This came about as the result of a lucky accident in a mint producing factory - the end product of which became an ideal snack for hikers and mountaineers owing to its glucose content. Sir Edmund Hillary took some along on the way to conquering Mount Everest!

The walk starts overlooking the entire town from a high vantage point before proceeding into the town centre and navigating three bridges over the River Kent.
