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 pass

ages 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.
