Ruins of Penrith Castle

Dating from the 15th century the castle was for a while the seat of power for Richard, Duke of Gloucester who usurped the throne as Richard III before being defeated at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 and whose remains were recently rediscovered, buried under a car park in Leicester. The ruins are situated opposite the town's railway station and on several occasions I've wandered round them while killing time waiting to catch a train.
