KENDAL WALKING TRAILS

We’ve mapped out these walking trails to help you find your way around.  You can go at your own pace – enjoy a quick tour (every trail can be completed within one hour) or take your time at the places you love.

Each trail follows popular paths but they can get muddy in some places (Kendal Castle and Serpentine Woods) so consider what you wear.

All trails are accessible from the high street and all offer viewpoints and scenic spots.
