Castle Howe

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

It is unusual that a small town can boast two castle, but Kendal is an exception. There are the 13th century ruins of Kendal Castle, and this, Castle Howe, an earthwork motte and bailey fortification dating from the Norman period. There is a small, treed mound, with a monument standing marking the location of the castle keep. Below is a small level area, or bailey. Castle Howe faces Kendal Castle a mile away across the River Kent.
