	Local area

	The Location midway between the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales, equidistant from Kendal, Appleby and Kirkby Stephen is ideal for hill walking, cycling and riding. Village amenities are nearby including a popular local pub, a village store and post office. Easy access from the M6 Motorway. The picturesque town of Kendal, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, is the largest in South Lakeland and was established as a centre of commerce in the 14th century. As the birthplace of Catherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII, the town has historical connections and many fine buildings. Kendal is a large market town situated on the River Kent, on the eastern edge of Cumbria, and is the southern gateway to the Lake District. Because the town was built largely of grey stone, it received the nickname 'the auld grey town'. Kendal was granted its market charter in 1189, and it relives those days each year during spring bank holiday. A medieval market with pageantry, music, and entertainment takes over the streets with strolling players, jugglers, and jesters, while sellers ply their wares at market stalls. The town's prosperity came from the wool trade. Begun in the 13th century, the trade flourished in the 14th century when Flemish weavers came to the area. From this time through the 19th century there were many mills on the River Kent. Kendal has much to offer in the way of shopping and restaurants, but its historic buildings, galleries, and museums give depth and meaning to a visit to this bustling Cumbrian town.
