    You can come at Kendall castle from multiple sides. There is a pay and display car park on the Kendall town side close to the recycling centre or free car parks on the Kendall football ground side. It’s a quick walk to the castle which is pleasant enough. There are a couple of information boards explaining the castles history. It’s free to walk round. Safe steps to walk up the turrets. Sadly it’s not very well looked after and feels very uncared for, worth a visit if not for the magnificent views.

    Whilst not much remains of this once impressive castle it still has a dominant presence sitting atop the hill overlooking the town. The short but steep walk directly to the castle might be challenging for some but there's also a gentler path that winds its way around the hill. The views across the valley are beautiful and it's worth the effort of the climb.

    A light walk up a small hill and you are the castle ruins. Excellent views over Kendal and the surrounding hills. Only a short visit needed to see it all, well worth it if you are in Kendal.

    Not a lot of the castle remaining, but there's good views of the town. No admission charge. There are a few information boards to give you an insight into the history of the castle.

    Nice stroll up to the castle. Stunning views of the town. Castle ruins are still well kept. Recommend a visit if passing.

    A great little spot for a walk round. Not much to do here other than walk round and look at the view and the castle ruins but well worth it and it's free.

    Just an amazing view and a fun trip to the castle. Kids will enjoy finding out about the castle rooms and hidden staircase. Bit on the ruins but it is really enjoyable if you go for exploring.

    For what it is, a castle in ruins, it's really nice. Free parking, short but slightly steep walk with an awesome view.
