Muncaster Castle Tours

A Cumbrian castle built on original Roman foundations in Ravenglass overlooking the River Esk. Privately owned by the Pennington family for over 800 years it has a beautiful interior with a magnificent library, and most notably Himalayan Gardens. The gardens thrive because apparently the microclimate here from the hillside and coastal atmosphere make it the equivalent of being at 11,000ft altitude in the Himalaya. #cumbria #muncaster #ravenglass

9.4/10 Exceptional! (416 reviews)
Huge room (studio suite), amazing design and great location. Very clean, and great price. Only minor thing was the lights in living room half didn’t work when I reported it no one came to fix it. I would still definitely recommend and will be back.
