Kendal is situated in south Cumbria and lies approximately 8 miles from Windermere, 50 miles south of Carlisle and 25 miles north of Lancaster. The M6 motorway junctions 36 and 37 are approximately 6 miles north and south of the centre of the town. Kendal has a resident population of approximately 30,000 but enjoys significant tourist trade throughout the year due to its proximity to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks.
The Westmorland Shopping Centre is located right in the heart of Kendal, on Stricklandgate, at the northern end of the town centre. It acts as a central retail anchor, linking major streets like Stricklandgate and Market Place. Westmorland Shopping Centre sits next to Kendal Bus Station and is only a short walk from Kendal Railway Station, making it very accessible.
In 2023, Kendal College occupied the majority of the first floor to establish a 58,000 sq ft town centre campus.
