About

Kendal South is a primarily residential ward located on the southern bank of the River Kent, directly opposite the historic town centre. The area is characterised by a mix of traditional stone-built terraced housing and more modern developments, with a functional layout centred around local shops and essential services. It provides a quiet living environment while maintaining immediate access to the commercial heart of Kendal across the river.

The ward includes the elevated area of Castle Park, which offers expansive views over the town's rooftops towards the surrounding fells. A network of footpaths follows the riverbank, connecting to wider walking routes into the southern countryside. The area's community facilities and green spaces serve its local population, with a focus on practical daily life rather than tourism.
