Brougham Castle

While on holiday visited Brougham Castle a medieval building near Penrith built on the site of a former Roman fort known as Brocavum.  The castle was founded by  Robert de Vieuxpont in the early 13th century. It's in a beautiful setting close to the River Eamont and on a clear day the views are amazing.
