Constructed in 1120 for the Norman baron William de Meschines, Egremont Castle fell into disuse in the late 16th century. Today all that is left is an abandoned ruin, which stands tall above the River Ehen. The large stone wall at the end of the outer bailey would have formed part of the great hall. It is on public land and is free to access.
