What is recorded here

Kendal Castle is a 13th-century ruin on a steep hill above Kendal, built for the Barony of Kendal and later owned by the Parr family. Its remaining wall and tower still rise over the town, offering a clear view of the countryside and a chance to imagine the people who lived there. The castle is open to the public, reached by an eleven-minute walk from the town centre.

Kendal Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Kendal Castle was built by the de Vesci family in the 12th century and later held by the Clifford family, who played a significant role in the region's defense during the Middle Ages. It is important as a historical stronghold in the border region between England and Scotland.
