Arnside Tower is believed to have been built in the late 14th century, during the late medieval period. It served as a defensive structure, designed to protect against potential Scottish raids and incursions along the border with Scotland.

Arnside Tower is in a dangerous condition and should not be entered. It was built in the 15th century as part of a defensive ring around Morecambe Bay, to safeguard the local inhabitants and their animals from marauding Scots.
