About
Egremont Castle Park in the town of Egremont, offers 2.8 acres of beautiful green space that is ideal for walkers and runners.The castle grounds are easy to access for all – it is easily within walking distance from the town centre and there are also many bus routes close by. The park can be accessed from Bookwell Road.
The original castle in the park was built on a mound above the River Ehen on the site of a Danish fort following the conquest of Cumberland in 1092 by William II of England. The present castle was built by William Meschin, between 1120 and 1135. Further additions were made in the 13th century. The castle eventually fell into disuse and became the ruin that we see today.
