Background
History
Arkholme is a small village forming part of a cluster of sites along the Lune Valley, each with evidence of a motte – as with Melling and Whittington. Arkholme has no surviving bailey. This is the densest distribution of Norman castles outside of the Welsh border countryside. It was served by the Furness and Midland Joint Railway line, until 1960. A tunnel took the line from Wennington (where it connected with the Midland Railway) to Melling, the next station being at Arkholme.
