Brougham Castle plus more from Brough

[Ken Rennie]

This castle was built at the same time as Brough castle but the odd pronunciation in Cumbria gives us Brough pronounced Bruff and Brougham pronounced Broo am with the a being very short with the stress on the oo. The river is usually much higher and faster than this but as it flows out of a large Lake it will never dry up.

Back to Brough
St. Michael's church started in the 12thC but much improved/ restored since then.

Another 2 from Brough Castle

I wandered around to get a view from the other side although it was into the sun so I may return for a morning shoot but this side is not as interesting as the other even with good light.

I love historical sites like these and the Brougham Castle site looks like one that would keep me entertained for quite a while. This is not to detract from the Brough Castle grounds - that looks like an equally interesting place to explore. I like both sides of that castle.

Love those clouds in #1. Is the church in #2 still in use? It looks like it.

#3 is my favorite view of Brough.

It's amazing how differently Brough and Brougham are pronounced considering how closely they are spelled.

Ken, the last photo of Brough Castle is really good.
