England · 14th century
Thurland Castle is a country house in Lancashire, England, which has been converted into apartments. Surrounded by a moat, and located in parkland, it was originally a defensive structure, one of a number of castles in the Lune Valley. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. Situated between the villages of Cantsfield and Tunstall, the castle is built on a mound and is encircled by a moat. The River Greta runs to the south and the Cant beck to the north.
