Lowther Castle

Lowther Castle is a dramatic ruined country house located near Penrith in Cumbria, England. Built in the early 19th century in Gothic Revival style, it served as the grand residence of the Lowther family. Despite its former grandeur, the castle was abandoned after World War II and gradually fell into ruin. In recent years, it has been carefully stabilized and opened to the public. Surrounded by extensive gardens and parkland, the site offers walking trails, restored landscapes, and family attractions. Today, Lowther Castle combines romantic ruins with modern visitor facilities and remains a popular destination.
