I'm always fascinated by old buildings especially ruins. I stand in the middle and try to imagine what it would've looked, sounded and smelled like back in time. There's quite a bit of Penrith Castle left to have a look round. It's not huge. It'll take an hour to have a wonder round and read the information boards. What's interesting about Penrith Castle and lots of other buildings in the area are the red stone bricks. Where I live everything is built from Limestone so it was interesting to see. As with most Castle ruins it's part of a small park. There's no entry fee but you'll have to park round the corner and walk to actually get to the park. I can't remember seeing any parking spots directly at the castle grounds. Penrith is a lovely town, to visit and walk round. It's the gateway to the Lake District so it's usually quite busy. There's some great local tea shops, bakeries, restaurants, pubs etc. All in all well worth a visit. Very enjoyable.
Castle ruin in the heart of penrith just a short walk from the train station its a nice place to relax while waiting for your train. Not very much to see but great place to go if you like a bit of history and the park is very well maintained and of course its freeVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Penrith Castle is situated in Castle Park, right next to the rail station and easily accessible from the town cetnre, making it the perfect place to explore while waiting for a train. The ruins are a memory of times gone by and you have to wonder why theses places were abandoned as in this case. There's only one information board but it's great to walk around and have a picnic or catch up on your thoughts.
A couple of signboards, basically just a shell of a castle left. Won't take you long to walk around it all, though the park is also nice for a stroll
Extensive ruins with a few infographics dotted about. Situated at the edge of a park and close to Penrith town centre. I found it an interesting spot and enjoyed my visit with the exception of being slightly distracted by numerous adults climbing on the arched structure, which is not supposed to be done. The English Heritage website states clearly that there is to be no climbing on the site. These irresponsible and crass 'adults' were even taking children up with them and there were upwards of about 7 people up there at one point, posing and trying to look cool. No one looks cool disrespecting an 800 year monument. They treated the site like a playground and what's more, as there are no railings, such behaviour is down right dangerous. The site needs to be protected from people like this. If they climb up there in greater numbers it could lead to tragedy.
Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing views and history. To see carvings from 1696 is mind blowing. Pet friendly, took our frenchie and she loved it. They even have water bowls through out for your pooches. Staff is so nice. If your a history nerd like me then you must go.
After travelling through the night to get to Scotland' we stopped off for a McDonald's breakfast. Across the road we found Penrith Castle which was free to walk around. It was great to read the information boards about the building's history and see the ruins. It's a nice place to stop off at and the green areas are perfect for picnicking.
Beautiful ruins in a park, and totally free and well looked after. Passing by Penrith, we stopped to see this castle and it was a quick but very pleasant visit. The red colour of the ruins makes it even prettier. Worth visiting if nearby.
Located opposite Penrith Train Station, in Penrith. I definitely can see a vision of improvements, such as; more information boards, accessible paths, interactive things for children to name a few. However it’s easy to access, & free!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A great place to visit to read about the history of Penrith. The castle is a short walk from the centre of Penrith. There's no charge to visit
