Description
Brougham Castle near Penrith on a beautiful frosty morning.
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.
