Splash out on something a bit flash and sporty, maybe even a convertible if the weather is looking good.
Visiting Kendal and the Area
Kendal is an old wool trading town, more famous now for Kendal mint cake, the original energy bar. The town is a destination for shopping with no fewer than five shopping malls and a central pedestrianised area.
If you're more of a history buff than a shopper, the town has two castles, two museums and lots of interesting buildings to visit, so there's something for everyone.
A Break in the Lake District
Kendal is also the perfect place to base yourself on a break to the Lake District. With Keswick about 30 miles away and Windermere just a 20-minute drive, you can enjoy all the benefits of being in a town, with access to beautiful countryside.
You're also not far from the sea and some amazing beaches so, if you're on a family holiday, you can pack a picnic, bundle everyone into the people carrier and head to the seaside, weather permitting of course.
