Introduction

Little more than a stone's throw from the town of Penrith, the village of Brougham is the location of Brougham Castle, one of the best preserved Norman castles in the North of England, in a picturesque location by the banks of the River Eamont. The village is also home to historic Brougham Hall, a fortified stately home with origins in the 14th Century, now home to a museum and crafts centre. There are also two interesting and historic churches in the village, Ninekirks and St Wilfrids.

Post

The Royal Mail provides postal services in the United Kingdom. The Royal Mail's store fronts are called Post Office and offer services ranging from sending letters and packages to foreign currency exchange. Use the branch locator to find the nearest Post Office branch. An alternative includes TNT Post.
It's common for a post office to be incorporated into a grocery store, where there will be a small counter located at the back of the store for dealing with post related matters. All post offices are marked with signs that say 'post office' in red lettering. Post boxes can be found at any post office and standalone large red post boxes on the streets or red boxes in the sides of public buildings.
