🏰 High Head Castle

High Head Castle is a ruined country house in the English county of Cumbria located between Carlisle and Penrith. The present Georgian house stands on the site of a medieval castle. The house is now largely a ruin with the exterior walls and certain foundations surviving for the majority of the building. The right hand wing of the building has had a roof re-instated, and may be usable again for the first time since the building burnt down in the 1950s. Currently not open to the public, it is privately owned, and the owners have now for some time been trying to restore the building.
