Cockermouth Castle
Cockermouth Castle is a medieval stone castle standing at the junction of the Rivers Cocker and Derwent in Cockermouth, Cumbria. The site preserves a substantial curtain wall and an inhabited domestic range alongside older towers and a gatehouse; parts survive as ruins while other ranges remained lived-in into the 20th century.

As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, rectangular stone castle of pale-grey sandstone with a continuous high curtain wall and a central, square gatehouse projecting over the entrance passage; the gatehouse base has thick, squared buttresses forming the flanking walls of the approach. The inhabited residential range rises behind the curtain with small mullioned windows and tall stone chimney stacks breaking the roofline. Crenellated parapets and narrow slit windows punctuate the walls. The castle stands on a grassy slope beside riverbanks and town trees.
