A walk for World Car Free Day: Kendal to Sizergh Castle

Join us to celebrate World Car Free Day with a guided walk from Kendal town centre along the valley of the river Kent to Sizergh Castle.

The river is a Special Area of Conservation and flows through a landscape steeped in natural and cultural history, with gunpowder mills, a Roman fort, imposing 14th-century castle and a spectacular gorge.

There will also be an opportunity to visit the new Soil: Life Beneath Our Feet exhibition at the end of the walk.
