Welcome to Papcastle

Papcastle is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Derwent, just a few miles away from the town of Cockermouth. The village is known for its rich history, which dates back to the Roman times. The name Papcastle is derived from the Latin word "Papavera," which means "poppy." The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for tourists.

One of the main attractions in Papcastle is the Roman fort, which was built in the 2nd century AD. The fort was used to protect the Roman Empire from the invading Scots. Today, visitors can explore the remains of the fort, which include the foundations of the walls, the gatehouse, and the barracks. The fort is a fascinating insight into the history of the area and is a must-visit for anyone interested in Roman history.

Another popular attraction in Papcastle is the St. Kentigern's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is dedicated to St. Kentigern, who is also known as St. Mungo. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and features a number of interesting features, including a 14th-century font and a 15th-century rood screen. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.
