Summer Trails


Behind the Trails

Kendal’s Business Improvement District (BID) is behind the Kendal Summer Trails venture.

Kendal BID is owned and run by the businesses of Kendal. In 2017 Kendal BID wanted to do something that would include as many of the BID businesses as possible and that would encourage people to explore and discover the wonderful town of Kendal, whilst having fun. Following the success of the trails in 2017, new trails were created for summer 2018, Christmas 2018 and summer 2019.

Kendal BID worked with Felltarn Ltd who have created a series of beautifully illustrated maps.

 

 

 

Essential Info

Felltarn Ltd was created in 2013 by Kendal friends Claire Mansfield and Amy Onyango. The duo created an illustrated book called The Lake District Adventures, with the aim being to introduce children to the Lake District.
