Augill Castle is a 19th century castle nestled between the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria’s Lake District.

The castle sits at the centre of a small working estate where we raise cattle, sheep and pigs.

Dedicated to comfort, friendliness and informality, Augill Castle offers you the two most elusive luxuries of modern life – quality space and time together.
