About

Kendal Nether ward is located on the eastern bank of the River Kent, forming a central part of the historic market town. The area encompasses a mix of residential streets, local commercial premises, and industrial units, particularly towards the northern edges. Its geography is defined by the river and the surrounding low fells, with several bridges connecting it to the rest of Kendal. The ward includes the town's main railway station, a key transport link for the South Lakeland district.

The built environment features traditional stone architecture, with some modern developments integrated around the commercial zones. A notable local landmark is the Nether Bridge, a multi-arched structure carrying traffic into the town centre. The area also contains sections of the old canal and pathways along the riverbank, used for local recreation. The ward functions as both a residential community and a practical hub for light industry and transportation within the wider borough.
