Penrith - Brougham Castle
Brougham Castle was built in 1092, on the site of a Roman fort, by William Rufus. The original castle was destroyed in 1172 and rebuilt by Henry II. His tower survives, but later buildings were destroyed by fire in 1521. A stone-curtain wall was added around 1300. The castle is an impressive ruin which stands on the bank of the river Eamont.
