The derelict Kendal Castle on the edge of the Lake District in Cumbria United Kingdom.


The derelict Kendal Castle in Cumbria, United Kingdom on the edge of the Lake District. Kendal Castle was originally a late 12th century earth ringwork and bailey fortress, founded by Gilbert fitz Reinfred. In the early 13th century, William de Lancaster founded the stone castle, when encasing the ringwork with a curtain wall. In 1383, it became the possession of the Parrs and in 1571 the ruinous and abandoned castle passed by exchange to the crown.
