Arnside Tower, Medieval tower house near Arnside, England.
The limestone structure measures 50 feet by 34 feet and originally contained five levels with thick walls protecting inhabitants from raids.
Built in the late 14th century by the De Broughton family, the tower endured a significant fire in 1602 before being repaired and reoccupied.
The tower represents a traditional northern English defensive structure, designed to protect residents from Scottish border raiders during medieval times.
Visitors can observe the ruins from adjacent public footpaths, though entering the deteriorating structure is not permitted for safety reasons.
The tower incorporates an unusual Scottish-style wing design, distinguishing it from typical English tower houses of the medieval period.
