Sizergh Castle
Sizergh Castle near Kendal is a medieval tower house that has been home to the Strickland family for over seven hundred years, growing over the centuries into a rambling and characterful country house. The great hall and impressive Elizabethan carved chimney pieces speak of long continuity, while the gardens — including one of the National Trust's finest limestone rock gardens — bring extraordinary seasonal colour. With the Lake District fells as a backdrop, the whole setting feels timeless.
