Brougham Castle
Brougham Castle is a medieval stone castle near Penrith in Cumbria founded in the early 13th century and largely developed under the Clifford family around the turn of the 14th century. The site occupies part of an earlier Roman fort and today survives as a substantial ruined castle managed by English Heritage.

As it stood in 1309
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, rectangular medieval stronghold of warm red-brown sandstone dominated by a tall stone keep and an attached multi-storey gatehouse with a large arched entrance. A continuous curtain wall with crenellated parapets links ruined ranges and a prominent four-storey corner tower (the Tower of League). Window openings are narrow and arched; many wall tops are broken or missing. The castle stands on a low grassy mound with a straight paved-and-cobbled approach leading to the main gateway.
