Lowther Castle postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
This art postcard of Lowther Castle portrays the historic ruin in a glowing and uplifting style. The castle’s towers and battlements stand tall, their stonework bathed in warm light beneath a radiant golden sun that fades gently into a soft blue sky.
At the front, a sweeping path leads the eye towards the grand arched entrance, flanked by neat green hedges that add structure to the scene.
In the foreground, a field of wildflowers bursts with colour, scattered in bright touches of pink, purple, yellow, and blue that create a lively, textured foreground. Speckles of paint drift across the whole composition, blending the castle, gardens, and sky into a vibrant celebration of history and nature.

Lowther Castle
Lowther Castle
, set in the heart of the Lake District near Penrith, is one of the region’s most atmospheric historic sites. Built between 1806 and 1814 for the Lowther family, it was designed by architect Robert Smirke in the grand Gothic Revival style, with soaring towers and dramatic stonework that reflected both wealth and power.
Once a lavish stately home surrounded by formal gardens and parkland, the castle fell into ruin during the 20th century after being abandoned and partially dismantled. Today, its majestic remains stand as a romantic reminder of its past, surrounded by beautifully restored gardens and sweeping Cumbrian scenery that highlight both its history and enduring beauty.
