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.
