Eccle Riggs

Eccle Riggs is a country house located on Eccle Riggs, a ridge of land about 0.75 miles (1.2 km) to the south of Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. It was built in 1865 in Tudor style for Richard Assheton Cross and designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. A dining-room wing was added in 1880 by the Manchester architect J. S. Crowther.[1][2] It has since been used as a leisure club.[3]
