Lowther Castle and Gardens

Lowther Castle and Gardens

Lowther Castle and Gardens is just off the A6 near Penrith. The Castle is currently undergoing restoration after it nearly fell down about a decade ago. The gardens are based on a 17th century layout and have secret summerhouses and hidden ponds. In addition they are being maintained with the intention of promoting the local wildlife. So you might just see a red squirrel or two!

The Castle and Gardens also has a café which caters for light lunches, tea, coffee, scones and cake.
