About

Kendal Highgate ward encompasses the historic core of Kendal, focused on the main thoroughfare of Highgate itself. This central area is characterised by traditional stone buildings housing independent shops, local services, and pubs. The ward includes the narrow yards and passages, known locally as 'ginnels', that branch off the main street. St. George's Church, with its distinctive spire, is a notable landmark within this part of the town.

The ward's boundaries extend to include some residential streets immediately surrounding the commercial centre, blending urban living with the town's administrative heart. The River Kent flows nearby, and the area is a key junction for local bus routes. A network of footpaths connects the ward to the surrounding hills, providing direct access to walking routes like the one leading to the remains of Kendal Castle.
