Kendal is a fantastic base for walkers looking to explore the Lakes as well as the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Plus, there's plenty to see and do in town, from the eerie ruins of Kendal Castle and Castle Howe to Kendal Museum and the many pubs and restaurants scattered around the Highgate area. Trains to Kendal take under an hour and a half from Manchester and just 40 scenic minutes from Preston, making an escape to this Cumbrian market town as easy as it is rewarding.
Arriving at Kendal station you’ll find buses available under a five-minute walk away and PlusBus is available for a small add on fare when you buy your ticket with us. There is no taxi rank at the station but you can book in advance from one of the many taxi firms based in the town.
