Castles in Lancashire
One of the smallest castles keeps in the country stands atop a rocky outcrop at Clitheroe. The origins of the castle seem uncertain, but one possibility is that it was erected by Roger de Lacy around 1186, possibly on the site of an early Norman fortification built shortly after the Conquest and mentioned in the Domesday Book.
