Assessor comments
"A full and varied visitor experience – great value for money."
Overview
Home to the Pennington family for over 800 years, Muncaster Castle is a treasury of beautiful art and antiques, sitting majestically in wild, woodland gardens with breathtaking views of the English Lake District, including Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain. The Hawk & Owl Centre hosts owls, falcons, eagles and vultures with brilliant daily flying displays where the birds swoop low over and around the audience. A café, shops and playgrounds can be found within the gardens.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
