Dalton Castle

This is another super quirky National Trust (compared to stately homes just love the variety you get). Great tour. Nice to see a guide book.📖 Friendly and welcoming guides. Don't miss the woodern carved chairs of the animals in various states of punishment (sheep in stocks🐑). Good amount of information boards. Not open every day so be sure to check app/website before visiting. Would recommend a visit.

Finally managed to visit the castle! It has very limited opening times so catch it while you can. The guides are very welcoming and informative. There are lots of old paper that you can browse through, a costume section and a very small spiral staircase. If your interested in history it's worth checking out.

Full of history. Great little castle and kids can dress up

I didnt visit. I just live up the road. 🤣

Its open on Sarurdays 1500 - 1700 only during this summer. Free entrance. Limited free parking around the carstle and the Lime street free car park.

Very small but a lovely little stop off for a look around. Free entry and parking (lots available dotted up and down the road) National trust run and the guides were really welcoming and told us lots about the place. Only open weekends in the summer and closed the rest of the time so lucky to have been able to visit really. Small gift shop, no other amenities and one way system includes a 800+? Year old spiral staircase so not suitable for wheelchairs and prams but if like us you're prepared to carry small ones it's fine! Lots of history, activities and artifacts! Strong links to Furness Abbey so lovely to tie in together being so close in distance!

Not open often so check first. Interesting if not exciting. Good for a short visit. No grounds.

Amazing 14th century Dalton castle
