One of the oldest buildings in Dalton and more of a tower than a castle. If you like old architecture this is a fine example, but unfortunately cannot enter it anymore. They did used to let you in years ago for a small admission, still a great monument and a photo opportunity should you be visiting this ancient market town of Furness.
