Introducing Kendal
The sturdy, grey-slate town of Kendal is practically synonymous with its super-sweet mintcake, a peppermint-flavoured bar that sustained Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay on their ascent of Everest in 1953, and still finds its way into the backpacks of many seasoned walkers in the Lake District. During the Middle Ages, Kendal was renowned as a centre for the cloth and wool trades, and the town remains the main commercial centre in the southern Lakes, with some excellent museums and one of the best arts complexes in the county.
