Penrith Beacon
Penrith Beacon is on Beacon Hill Cumbria and is a stone built monument that dates back to 1719. The beacon was used to warn locals of an impending attack, so the inhabitants and their livestock in the surrounding area could take shelter. The beacon is a Grade I listed
building.
There was probably a similar structure on the same site from 1296 and was part of a chain of Beacons that ran through the Eden Valley.
The last time the beacon was last lit was during the Jacobite Rebellion in 1745.
