Penrith Castle Tours

A woman with a black dog in a grassy area with ancient brick ruins in the background.
If only the ageing walls of Penrith Castle could talk! But seeing they can't, inquire if tours are available to hear a couple of its tales instead.

This Penrith fortified complex is an ideal place to start your day of sightseeing. There's lots to see in the vicinity, such as Lowther Castle and Gardens, Whinfell Forest, and Dalemain. Take your time at Penrith Castle before making tracks to these other fine sights.
