I have lived in Penrith my whole life and it is a fantastic town with brilliant shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, and activities. Duke's House is right in the middle of everything that Penrith has to offer! Penrith has excellent rail, road and bus links to wider Cumbria and Lake District area. Duke’s House – The Story behind the Name Our family home for 35 years, the property was fully renovated and brought back into use when originally purchased in 1986. Now offered as a home away from home, the inspiration for the name lies with Richard, Duke of Gloucester who later became King Richard III in 1483. Nearby Duke’s House is Dockray Hall. Dockray Hall was built by Richard’s Grandfather around 1400 and King Richard resided there whilst extensive work was carried out at Penrith Castle around 1471. It is understood that Dockray was linked to the castle by a tunnel which ran from the north east corner of the castle, a distance of some 307 yards – a secret means of escape from the castle. As well as the local link, the name is also a nod to our grandfather who served in the Duke of Wellington Regiment in the Korean War.
