A lovely trip down memory lane for me. It's been 27 years since I was last in Kendal, back in my fell walking days. These days I consider it an achievement if I get to the top of the stairs, never mind Harrison Stickle up there in beautiful Langdale. Loved the busker singing A Pair of Brown Eyes. Great video. Thank you.
My family were cloth traders from this region. I was so thrilled to see that they are noted as donors for the town hall renovations on the information plaque. (Bindloss) .Cheers for that...
Yes! Lake District..🤟🤟🤟 Thank you very much for giving the gentleman a donation and his doggo some scratches. People these day's are so quick to judge and turn their back on others. Had you not helped, you might not have found the other shop. Everything happens for a reason. 😁 Can't wait to see more of ..✌
I lived here about 24 years ago. Thanks for a wonderful tour, made me feel like I was on holiday without the expense. Will have to save and get back there, this video has got me going! It was a kind gesture to give the homeless guy your mintcakes, would've done same I think.
I’ve been a couple of times to Kendal, so it was lovely to visit again watching your lovely tour round. I really enjoyed it, and I’m looking forward to see were else you visit next. Thank you.
Great video - worked in Kendal for many years - beautiful town. It's been 15 years since I was in those places and a lot has changed. Thank you for the video!
@@msmilano7091 I,m from Kendal (born & bred) moved away 24yrs ago and still keep in touch with my friends. They all say the same that Kendal is nothing like it used to be - for the worse too. Terrible shame as it was a buzzing town.
@@wilsp It’s true. 10 years ago, it was still that way. It was beautiful. Sadly it has been so neglected that there is no reason for anyone to be there now. Although, I moved away last year and there are quite a few things about it that I do miss ….but it’s still nothing like it was. It had everything going for it and now it’s barren….I hope one day, we will see it back in it’s glory.
I grew up in Kendal, Left when I was about 20 in 88. Some of the roads go the opposite way now. The grass near the river at the beginning use to be a car park. McDonald's is in the same place, I remember when they first opened. I think my favorite place was the library as a kid.
Loved this walk never been to the Lake District glad you took me. Loved all the little alleyways and all the informative plaques. Lovely gesture with the cake. Can’t wait to see more thank you and keep on walking 🧡🚶🏻👍
As a kendalian watching your video brought a lot of memories back as I don't have the opportunity to go back very often!!! Superb video keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much my friend! That's so generous of you and I really do appreciate it! I'll put it towards the cost of travelling to my next place to film! THANK YOU for your support! ❤️
Trainers looking very good. You must have been them in, they are quiet now. Love the look of Kendal. We have decided to visit places to buy the foods made there. Melton Mawbray ( pork pie) Bakewell ( pudding) etc. Think Kendal must go on that list for its mint cake. Did you like the mint cake Neil? That is if you tried it. Another lovely video. Think I must make that trip. ❤
Thanks for vlog a reminder of visits long ago . My children enjoyed postman pat. A lady I worked with promised to bring back some mint cake of course still waiting. Looking forward to more places in this area can’t do walking these days .
Me and my wife just got married in Gretna Green on the weekend, we had our honeymoon on the way home which was 2 nights in Kendal, neither of us had visited Cumbria before but it's videos like this (if not this very video) that made us wish to check out Kendal - the exit off the M6 down when exiting for Kendal last Sunday (forgot the junction number) was akin to the opening to The Shining (1980) though, which was cool/the topography of Kendal's amazing.
Thanks for the video. I visited Kendal after Lake District, when I was a student in Canterbury, many decades ago .. I made a day tour because in Central Java, there is a small town called Kendal too.
I can't remember whether I have been to Kendal, it may have been Penrith. Looks very interesting and clean. That was a great tour. Hope you got your mint cake!
Love all the little alleyways nice gesture giving your mintcake to the homeless lad did you get to try any personally I'm not keen on it Happy walking Lake District is lovely 😀
love this video my daughter's boyfriend comes from Kendal looks lovely. never tried mint cake might have to ask my daughter to get some when she comes home from there
Don't eat too much Kendal Mint Cake. I used to make it 30+ years ago, and it's 90% sugar......... Blue wrapper = white mintcake, Red wrapper = brown mintcake. There is a slight difference in texture and taste. You can also get chocolate coated mint-cake. I felt drawn to watch your video, despite living in Kendal for 57 years before I moved to one of the little outlying villages, 5 miles from Kendal almost 10 years ago......
Very nice and interesting town, with plenty of space everywhere and little alleys connecting different parts of the town. However, what struck me was in spite of it being so spacious and uncongested that there were hardly any cyclists, l saw just 2, plus 2 mobility scooters and one scooter, even though there were bike racks for parking ! Seems strange, as in a town of that size, hilly in parts too, that not many people cycle, and surely a much quicker way to get around the place !!
@@rahulivan Anytime! It's a fun ride setting one up - Just be ready for a whole lot of heartache and a relentless barrage of negative comments and abuse in the comments section from people. 🤣
@@rahulivan I wasn't ready for the hostility and anger and nastiness of some of the comments just for walking round towns and cities filming them - some horrific ones. Thankfully there's a 'hide user from channel' button now that you just press and that abusive person can post to their hearts content not knowing that nobody at all will ever see their comment!
Nice video, although no nostalgia value for me as either the place has changed considerably since I was last there (which was a very long time ago, so very probably) or my mental map of the town is just wildly inaccurate as the only places I recognised were Kendal Library and the river and rest of the time I hadn't the slightest clue as to where you were so you might as well have been wandering round some place I've never been to before. And while I'm still none the wiser from your video whether the cake shop that sold cream filled coffee puffs is still there, it was nice to note that they have a CEX (as that's my favourite shop).
Some of the modern architecture does not blend in with traditional Lakeland styles which is a great shame, it is an injustice to the splendour of the Lake District. Otherwise an informative tour, thank you. PS Grassington is pretty.

Thank you for showing what Kendal has to offer. As a business owner in the town it was nice to see an unbiased picture.
Thank you Judith! Lovely place!
Honestly can't wait to come back - just have to try and time with the sunshine!
@@GimbalWalkTV come and chat with some of the Independent Businesses if you do .
Yes! Lake District..🤟🤟🤟

I used to work in Kendal, haven't been back since I retired in 2007. That needs to change I think, a lovely town.
It used to be. Sadly, i don’t think you will find it the way you left it. It has changed a lot & not for the better

In Indonesia, there is also a city named “Kendal”. It is situated next to Semarang, the capital of Central Java Province.

Yes a beautiful library I paused to admire.👍
Wonderful!
It’s special that building isn’t it 👍👍👍
Lovely trip around a lovely town was there many years ago when touring around the lakes
Thank you Tony - I love this part of England!
Beautiful town. Thanks for sharing
Thank you too
Thank you for this walk. I haven't been to Kendal for years ❤ You did a marvellous job 👏 👍
You are so welcome
BEAUTIFULL WALK
Thank you ❤️
Really enjoyed the tour. I was there yesterday as my daughter lives in Kendal.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the video. I visited Kendal after Lake District, when I was a student in Canterbury, many decades ago .. I made a day tour because in Central Java, there is a small town called Kendal too.
I remember climbing a small hill with a ruined castle, from where we could see the whole Kendal. Beautiful ...
Ah nice!
I wonder if there are any more Kendals?
I can't remember whether I have been to Kendal, it may have been Penrith. Looks very interesting and clean. That was a great tour. Hope you got your mint cake!
Love all the little alleyways nice gesture giving your mintcake to the homeless lad did you get to try any personally I'm not keen on it Happy walking Lake District is lovely 😀
Kendal mint cake. The blue packed is white and the one in the red pack is a brown colour. :)
Great video and the mural of a page from Wainwright’s guidebooks was so effective 👏⭐️
Oh yes!
love this video my daughter's boyfriend comes from Kendal looks lovely. never tried mint cake might have to ask my daughter to get some when she comes home from there
My cousin lives in an estate just outside of the centre. I was in the town centre in 1973 so lots has changed.
I know $10 wont replace the Mint cakes. But Nice walk and a very nice gesture to help him. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much.
Didn't get to try Mintcake but did get the opportunity to help someone struggling so I'm happy
Thank you for your donation!

You missed the Mint Cake Factory in Low Fell.

Hello, may I know if one to two hours of walking enough time to see all this places in your video? Thank you.
Help
Yes definitely

@@JohnUK22 I don't remember that shop.
@@pedanticradiator1491 It was called Halls, I think, so I imagine they've all retired / died / or sold or closed the shop years ago too.

It's lovely!
Dry ends
It is very quiet and not that busy some nice buildings not many cars or buses and how many trainers have you worn out now
Just found out that Cumbria no longer exists as a county!
Really? 😮😮
