History of Gates Travel

A G Gates Ltd was incorporated in 1932, although the company's origins date back to the early years of the century.

A turning point came in 1933 when the London, Midland and Scottish Railway offered Ashton Gates a licence to sell tickets, establishing a railway booking office in Kendal separate from the local station. In those days the railway companies owned their own hotels and operated many of the ferry routes to Ireland and the Continent, all of which could be booked at A G Gates.

Now with branches in Kendal and Ambleside and a dedicated Business Travel department, Gates Travel serves customers from across the UK, continuing to provide dependable service, individual care and professional advice.
