KENDAL AND LANCASTER CANAL, a canal in Westmoreland and Lancashire. It was formed in 1793; it connects with the river Kent, goes southward from Kendal, past Burton-in-Kendal, Lancaster, and Garstang, to Preston, is prolonged thence about 4 miles by railway to Brindle, and proceeds thence to the Leeds canal at Whittle-le-Wood; it is 76 miles long; and it rises 222 feet, and falls 66 feet. But it has mainly been superseded by the Lancaster and Carlisle railway.
