Lake District Shopping

View all »

Shopping in the southern lakes is concentrated in Kendal and Windermere. Kendal has a pleasant mix of chain names, factory outlet stores, specialty shops, and traditional markets. The most interesting stores are tucked away in the quiet lanes and courtyards around Market Place, Finkle Street, and Stramongate. There's been a market in Kendal since 1189, and outdoor market stalls still line the center of town along Stramongate and Market Place every Wednesday and Saturday. More »
