Dalton Castle is a Grade I-listed pele tower in the Cumbrian town of Dalton. Constructed by the monks of Furness Abbey in the 14th-century, it was an important defense against marauding Scots. The building has also been at the heart of the region's justice system, serving as both a prison and as a venue from which the abbot administered legal matters.
