These impressive Bowes Castle ruins are free to visit. Although not much of the fort is left standing, you can visit the interior of the castle and imagine yourself back in time. The current castle dates from 1187 but was built on what was once the foundations of a Roman fortification.

The view of the castle form here is great at any time but if you can get down early in the morning to catch the sunrise it's stunning!

Brough Castle commands a strategically important position at the foot of the Stainmore Pass. The Romans built a fort here to protect their military road across the Pennines. 1,000 years later, the Normans built a castle on the site, which was later destroyed by the Scots in 1174 and hastily rebuilt before the end of the century. Like so many in the region, the castle was renovated by the prolific Lady Anne Clifford in the 17th century, before falling into ruin following her death. It is now under the protection of English Heritage and entry into its grounds is free.

This funny little bridge (with steps that you have to lift your bike up) is a quiet route alternative to the busy, main road that climbs up to the town centre. You also get a great view of the castle.

The magnificent ruins of Henry II's 12th-century keep are on the site of a Roman fort guarding the approach to strategic Stainmore Pass over the Pennines. The English Heritage-owned castle is free to enter and you can visit any time during ‘reasonable daylight hours’.
