Drumburgh Castle in Cumbria was built in 1307 as a pele tower on a Roman foundation of Hadrian's Wall, using reused Roman sandstone. In 1518, it was converted into a fortified house, a so-called bastle house, which features defensive features such as loopholes and blank walls. The building even includes an integrated Roman altar and bears the Dacre coat of arms. As a Grade I-listed building, it is of exceptional heritage importance, but it is currently privately owned and not open to the public.

Drumburgh Castle is a medieval Grade I listed pele castle located in the coastal village of Drumburgh in Cumbria. Whilst the castle is not open for the public to explore, it still makes a great place to stop and admire some beautiful British history.

A pele tower was built on this site in 1307 on a former tower of Hadrian's Wall. This castle was then built on the same site in 1518 and then altered to its present design in the 17th century.
