Brayton Hall, English country house ruins in Cumberland, England.

The remnants of Brayton Hall stand as a three-story stone structure forming a quadrangle, with parts of its original architectural features still visible.

The estate, granted after the Norman Conquest, transformed into a grand mansion in 1868 before a devastating fire in 1918 reduced it to ruins.

The Lawson family maintained extensive botanical gardens and a substantial library within Brayton Hall, reflecting their interest in natural history and literature.

Located 1.5 miles east of Aspatria and 7 miles southwest of Wigton, the site offers views of the Lake District mountains in the distance.

The estate became one of Britain's final satellite landing grounds during World War II, serving as an aircraft storage facility for the Royal Air Force.
