Kendal grew up around wool trading in the Lake District's shadow, and today its narrow yards and cobbled alleys open onto a surprisingly generous café scene, with cafes tucked into old merchant buildings all over town. Pair a coffee stop with a proper meal at one of the local restaurants before heading out toward the fells. It's a compact base with an easy, unhurried rhythm.
