Geocache Description:

Kendal - the gateway to the Lakes and the 'auld grey town'.  Currently the council are putting effort into brightening the place up with flowers and attractive signs.  This flower bed and sign welcomes you as you arrive from the south.

Kendal is an attractive small market town and the administrative centre for South Lakeland - created from parts of Westmorland, Cumberland and Lancashire.  For more information see Kendal Town Council's site and for lots of historical details see Kendal.

A fine selection of caches await you both in and around the town - it's a great place for a geocaching holiday.  This one is a sneaky beastie, well camouflaged - please try and return it to the same spot so the clue makes sense.  There is no need to trample the flower bed in your searching!  An old boundary stone sits nearby at the entrance to Helsington Laithes with a K(endal) and H(elsington).  Parking can be found 50m NE at the end of Scroggs Lane, just before Hadwins car sales.  Good cache at the east end of the lane and a nice walk down through the wood, or you could drive and park by the river: GCX78J.
