Charlies Bar
OK so this one is not exactly a secret but not everyone knows about it. It was built in 1690 and in the Stuart rebellion of 1745 it was slept in by Bonnie Prince Charlie as he advanced on London. He also slept here during his retreat and the following night The Duke of Cumberland, who was chasing him, slept in the very same bed. Look, it says so right there on the plaque. If you’re in Kendal, pop in for a pint and imagine what the town looked like 274 years ago!
