Greentraveller's Top Tip: If you've time to spare in Penrith before catching the train, be sure to check out the small market town's most noteable historical monument, the Penrith Castle, which dates back to the 14th century. The castlegrounds are an excellent place to relax after this exciting learning holiday.
