Egremont Castle Ruins and War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

Egremont, nestled along the banks of the River Ehen, is a historic market town with a rich industrial legacy encompassing dyeing, weaving, and iron ore mining.

Positioned at the base of Uldale Valley and Dent Fell, the town is characterised by a broad Main Street extending into the vibrant market square.

Remnants of the 12th-century Norman castle can be found near the market place at the southern end of Main Street.

Today, Egremont's economic landscape is anchored in the nuclear industry centered around Sellafield.

It lies on NCN 72, Hadrian's Cycleway.

Egremont Castle Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Constructed in 1120 for the Norman baron William de Meschines, Egremont Castle fell into disuse in the late 16th century. Today all that is left is an abandoned ruin, which stands tall above the River Ehen. The large stone wall at the end of the outer bailey would have formed part of the great hall. It is on public land and is free to access.
