Kendal

Kendal is an ancient town in the former county of Westmorland, now in the South Lakeland district county of Cumbria, England. It stands on the River Kent from which it partly takes its name (Kent-Dale, meaning valley-of-the-river-Kent). (Some say the town's name has another origin: "Kendal" is a name, meaning "from the bright valley.") It is where Kendal mint cake was originally invented. Currently with a population of 27,521 (2001 estimate), Kendal was pronounced the best place to live in England by an eight-year long survey undertaken by the University of Strathclyde, and those who live there.
