Millom Castle, Medieval castle in Millom, England.
Millom Castle is a medieval stone fortification in Millom with rectangular walls and an integrated tower structure. Buildings are built directly against the main walls, and the tower functions as a private residence today.
John Hudleston received permission from King Edward III in 1335 to fortify this location, leading to the construction of its defensive structures. The castle suffered major damage during medieval conflicts and was partially rebuilt afterward.
The castle shows how medieval noble families built structures that served both as homes and defensive positions. Walking around the exterior, you can see how the layout reflects practical needs of the era.
The site is private property, but you can view the exterior from a designated footpath that passes near the castle. Visit in daylight with clear weather to see the stonework details and structure clearly.
The tower fell into disuse by the 1700s but was later adapted for residential living rather than military defense. This conversion shows how medieval structures sometimes found new purposes in later centuries.
