Lammerside Castle is a medieval tower house situated in Westmorland, England. The structure dates from the late medieval period and represents the fortified domestic architecture characteristic of the border regions of northern England during this era. The tower house would have served as both a defensive stronghold and residence for a local family of some standing, embodying the practical military requirements of the period when raiding and territorial conflict necessitated fortified dwellings. The monument survives as a testament to late medieval building practices in the Lake District uplands and the regional settlement patterns of Westmorland.
