Hidden Kendal

Discover Kendal, the Gateway to the Lakes, on foot. Kendal has it all, with parks, riverside walks, quirky cobbled streets, dramatic views of the southern fells, scenic castle ruins, Cumbria’s largest church, fantastic eateries and pubs, great shopping, and dazzling local festivals and events throughout the year.

Hidden South Lakeland

Escape the crowds in the central Lakes, and head south for stunning and wild coastlines, secluded woodland walks, natural havens for wildlife and birds, castles and stately homes, world-renowned gardens, romantic priories and churches, Michelin-starred restaurants, Victorian tea rooms and the best English fish and chips served up by the sea.

Hidden Literary Lakeland

Beatrix Potter, William and Dorothy Wordsworth, S.T. Coleridge and Arthur Ransome. The Lake District World Heritage Site has inspired some of our most loved literature as well as the Arts and Crafts Movement and progressive thinkers from John Ruskin to Harriet Martineu. What inspired them, and will it inspire you?
