Dallam Tower is a grade I listed[1] country house in Beetham parish, near Milnthorpe, South Lakeland, Cumbria, England. It is a member of the Historic Houses Association[2] but is not open to the public except for occasional charity events, visits to the garden through the National Garden Scheme,[3] and as a wedding venue.[4]
The house is described as "Early C18 with C17 core, remodelled early C19" and has rainwater pipes dated 1722; its interiors include panelling by Gillow of Lancaster.[1] It has a deer park of 190 acres (75 ha),[5] running down to the River Bela beside the A6 road with a prominent grade II listed 18th-century deer shelter.[6] The shelter was damaged by fire in April 2021.[7] A public road and several public footpaths run through the deer park.
It has sometimes been erroneously referred to as Dallam Castle,[8] and an earlier spelling was Dalham Tower.[9] Before local government reorganisation in 1974 Dallam Tower was in the county of Westmorland.
