Old milestone This milestone doesn't look much different to what it did in 2008.  It needs some work from Highways to set it upright at its correct height and then it could be repainted.

Castlewigg House & Tower Frontage of Castlewigg House (1800); it incorporated the original C16 Castle Wigg tower house at the rear. The mansion and tower were gutted and made roofless in 1954 – today it stands looking very neglected and tired (excuse pun) in the grounds of Castlewigg Farm. Slight remains around the mansion of a John Claudius Loudon gardens.
