Description: The Cumbria Directory provides photographs, brief histories and visitor information.
Cumbria's castle (castle being defined as a defensible privately owned habitation) building began with the Norman invasion. When Rufus, son of William the Conqueror, invaded Cumbria in 1092, he parceled out the land to the barons. They deemed it necessary to build castles to hold onto their grants, establish a place of residence, and show off their importance.
