Brough Castle
Brough Castle at Church Brough in the Eden Valuley of Cumbria.
The impressive Brough Castle stands on the site of the Roman fort, Verteris.
The castle's keep dates from about 1200 and more comfortable living quarters were added later by the Clifford family. These were accidentally burnt down following a 'great Christmas party' in 1521.
Like so many other castles in the region, Brough Castle was restored in the 17th century by Lady Anne Clifford.
The castle is under the care of English Heritage. Free admission.
