Brougham Castle

This was taken at 5.20 this morning as we drove over the A66 on our journey to Scotland, the sun was just rising and I love how the sunlight enhanced the colour of the bricks so beautifully.   .   It is a medieval castle founded by Robert de Vieuxpont in the early 13th century.   It looks so beautiful as it sits on the confluence of the rivers Eamont and Lother near Penrith, Cumbria.   It is managed by English Heritage.
Blipping and commenting may be rather sporadic this week, as the internet connection is very weak and only one of us can access it at any one time.
