Brough Castle

Brough Castle is a historic ruined fortress located in the village of Brough in Cumbria. It was originally built by the Normans in the 11th century on the site of a Roman fort, serving as a strategic stronghold along important routes. The castle was later restored in the 17th century by Lady Anne Clifford, who preserved many of its medieval features. Constructed mainly of stone, it includes remains of towers, walls, and defensive structures. Today, Brough Castle stands as a scenic ruin, attracting visitors interested in English history, architecture, and the legacy of medieval border fortifications.
