Lowther Castle & Gardens

Lowther Castle & Gardens

Home to the world famous Lowther Show & Horse Carriage Driving Trials.

The castle stands on a site occupied by the Lowther family for over 800 years. The castle was completed in 1806 and is looking magnificent again as the long restoration nears an end.

The castle, cafe and beautiful gardens are open throughout the year.

The gardens at Lowther are unique, having been untended for generations and in more recent times over planted with spruce plantations and a chicken farm! An idyllic pastoral landscape stretches away into the far distance,unchanged for hundreds of years, much of it farmed and managed by the Lowther family for 800 years.

Dogs allowed on leads, picnics welcomed and children go free! More than enough to occupy an entire day-and more!
