Wharton Hall - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Eden, North West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Wharton Hall is a fortified manor house, situated two miles south of Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, England. The hall was founded around 1415 by the Wharton family, who further extended the property in the middle of the 16th century. A deer park was established around the enlarged manor house, requiring the relocation of the local village community.

Wharton Hall fell into disuse and was sold off in 1728 after the attainder of Philip, the Duke of Wharton. James, the Earl of Lonsdale, restored much of the hall in 1785, letting it out for use as a farmhouse. It continues to form part of a farm in the 21st century.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 20/04/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.

I want to live there.

It’s a nice place although I think Nappa Hall is better and more complete.

Hm! Don’t know Napp Hall, but that place looks perfect for me, a cross between shambolic & grandeur.

And me…
