Lowther Castle and Gardens, Penrith

This place was so good! We arrived and the courtyard was beautiful somewhere to sit, eat, drink and use toilet facilities! The toilets were lovely and clean! The cafe was spacious and also clean. Lots of choice hot and cold food! The castle itself is just stunning we set off around the garden and found some little wooden houses which were like something out of a film I loved them! The different flowers rockery and views walking around just top it off! The scented garden was amazing! We then went into the woods on our quest to find the hidden castle 🏰 it was playground for the children to our surprise (we have no kids) but it looked ace! You can get food at the top near this too lovely hut under the low trees! Parking is free! You can get bikes to hire which we didn’t do but we are hoping to do that next time!

Absolutely fantastic day out. My son loved the 'Lost Castle' adventure playground, it's huge! The grounds are massive filled with summerhouses and tree swings. Perfect place to take your dog too. We loved it.
