Arnside Tower
Arnside Tower is a spectacular and almost unique example of a Cumbrian pele tower. It is the oldest building in the parish, the tower was built in the late 14 or early 15th century, and was a free standing tower (most pele towers had outbuildings or were attached to a house or hall of some sort). The tower would originally have been four and five storeys tall, however due to systematic dismantling and weathering and age, it is now both roofless and floorless. The turret staircase is still partly intact, although the interior of the tower is in such a state that it’s not recommended that the ruins be entered. (Far Arnside, England)
