Set out on foot from the property to enjoy a leisurely stroll along the coast, sit and enjoy the coastal scenery or walk through the pretty village of Ravenglass, stopping to admire the views of Muncaster Fell along the way. Ravenglass, now a UNESCO world heritage site, was once an important Roman port and military fort but is now best known as the starting point for the Ravenglass and Eskdale narrow gauge steam railway. It is also home to two pubs, a hotel, a cafe, a children’s park, a post office and the meeting place of three rivers. For history, visit Muncaster Castle, 1.5 miles away, set in beautiful grounds with a Hawk and Owl Centre plus the recently opened Weapons Hall. For cycling, choose between the steep roads of the Eskdale Valley and the low-level forest tracks of the Eskdale Trail. Locally there are many wonderful walks to suit all abilities, for example Wasdale,10 miles away, with its breathtaking views and boasting England’s highest mountain, deepest lake, smallest church and arguably Britain’s favourite view. Additionally, you can enjoy walks along the sandy beaches at Drigg and Seascale. Ravenglass is on the coastal main railway line, take the train to the seaside villages of Seascale or St Bees or visit the historic harbour town of Whitehaven.
