This magnificent castle, standing proud above the Eden Valley, was built at the behest of William II after he had driven the Scots out of Westmorland in 1092. Caesar's Tower is the oldest part of the building, the top of which gives splendid views of the surrounding countryside.

Like so many in the region, the castle was owned by the Cliffords. The great hall once displayed 'the Great Picture', a triptych showing Lady Anne as a teenager on the left, then as an elder on the right, with her family in the middle. The artwork is now on display at the Abbot Hall Gallery and Museum, Kendal.
