About Fencing in Penrith
Penrith in Cumbria was once effectively the capital of the region, its position on the strategic route to and from Scotland shaping its development as a military centre since Roman times. Penrith Castle was built between 1399 and 1470 to defend against Scottish raids, and Richard Duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III, lived there as its owner between 1471 and 1483 before taking the throne. High above the town stands Penrith Beacon, a monument built in 1719 on a site where warning beacons have been lit in times of danger since at least 1296, part of a chain that once stretched down the Eden Valley and could pass signals between neighbouring beacons at Orton Scar and Kirkoswald.
