Countess Pillar, near Penrith<\/p><\/div>\n

Standing around 4m tall and \u00a0on a small hill beside the busy road, this memorial will go un-noticed by many passing motorists heading towards the M6.<\/p>\n

The Countess Pillar marks the place nearby where Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, bade farewell to her mother Margaret on 2 April 1616, at the gateway to Brougham Castle.<\/p>\n

Brougham Castle is around 1km from the site of the Pillar.<\/p>\n

On top of the pillar are three sundials and an inscription.<\/p>\n
