LORD EGERTON CASTLE


The castle is an architectural masterpiece of its time and listening to the guide (a former employee of Lord Egerton) as he takes you through the life of the castle and its eccentric owner, you can’t help but wonder what begot the young lady who jilted the Lord after he had built such a magnificent castle .The 53 room castle was modeled after his family home in England.

The castle is located in the Ngata area about 14kilometres from Nakuru town

The castle stands amidst well kept lawns that are great for picnics and other garden events.

Gate charges are kshs 100(Kenyan citizens) and you get to enjoy the gardens as well as a guided tour of the castle. They also have very great rates for weddings and other events.
