Corby Castle

Corby Castle is a Grade I listed country house and former peel tower on the southern edge of Great Corby, Cumbria, long associated with the Howard family. Originating as a 13th-century red sandstone tower house, it was extended in the 17th century and given its present Georgian façade between 1812 and 1817. The estate includes formal terraces, a cascade to the River Eden, garden buildings and historic garden features.

As it stood in 1817

The shape it held in its prime.

A long, red sandstone, three-storey principal block with a symmetrical Georgian façade of regular sash windows and modest chimneys under a low-pitched slate roof, set high above the River Eden on a steep, terraced riverside bank. The house incorporates an older L-shaped tower-house massing but presents a unified early-19th-century stone front; balustraded terraces, a descending cascade and dense trees frame the slope to the river at the foot.
