Formerly the site of the Brocavum Roman fort, Brougham Castle is a 13th-century castle at the confluence of the Eamont and Lowther rivers. Today it is scheduled an Ancient Monument and is maintained by English Heritage.

Its rabbit-warren passages and spiral staircases make it a beguiling place to explore, whilst the top of the keep rewards with great views of the Eden Valley, east to Cross Fell and west to Blencathra.

Entry is free to English Heritage members. For more information, visit english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/brougham-castle/prices-and-opening-times
