Millom Castle is a ruined medieval fortress located in Cumberland in north-west England, situated near the coastal town of Millom. The castle dates from the twelfth century and was erected as a stronghold by the de Millom family, who held the castle through the medieval period. The surviving remains consist of fragmentary stonework of the keep and associated structures, which reflect the castle's original domestic and defensive functions. The site represents an important example of Norman-period military architecture in the Lake District region, though extensive ruins have been lost to time and development.
