13th century riverside castle with passages and spiral staircases to explore. 28 miles from Avalon Lodge. Address Moor Ln, Penrith CA10 2AA
In a picturesque setting beside the crossing of the River Eamont in Cumbria, Brougham Castle was founded in the early 13th century. This great keep largely survives, amid many later buildings - including the unusual double gatehouse and impressive 'Tower of League'. Both a formidable barrier against Scots invaders and a prestigious residence, the castle welcomed Edward I in 1300. A complex of passages and spiral stairways makes Brougham a fascinating castle to explore, as well as an ideal picnic setting for a family day out. The top of the keep provides panoramic views over the Eden Valley.

Interesting history, location with some excellent art and craft hubs within the grounds; decent cafe too.
