When you’re ready to head out, Kendal invites you to discover its fascinating Kendal Museum, browse its independent shops and galleries, and enjoy leisurely riverside walks along the River Kent.

Beech Brae promises a warm, welcoming place to return to each day, a true Lake District escape where you can slow down, explore freely, and enjoy every moment in this beautiful corner of Cumbria.
