    Abbot Hall Art Gallery

    Kendal's fine art gallery houses one of the northwest's best collections of 18th- and 19th-century art, and recently celebrated its 50-year birthday. It's especially strong on portraiture and Lakeland landscapes: look out for works by Constable, Varley and Turner, as well as portraits by John Ruskin and local boy George Romney, born in Dalton-in-Furness in 1734, and a key figure in the 'Kendal School'.

    A joint ticket with the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry costs £8.30.
