Lowther Castle, Penrith, Cumbria

Situated in the historic county of Westmorland, Lowther Castle was home to (believe it or not) the Lowther family. Now we don't know that much about the Lowther family but what is clear to see is that they knew a thing or two about views. There are some incredible views to the west of the castle of the undulating countryside. Unfortunately, we'd say that's about it though. The castle itself is nice to look at and photographs nicely, but the whole place is an ongoing restoration project so it may not be what you're expecting for £8 each.

Fun Fact - Once a year, Lowther Castle plays host to the "Born Survivor" assault course/race.
