Muncaster Castle and Gardens

Muncaster Castle, home to the Pennington family for 800 years, is a genuine treasure trove of art and antiques. Its Great Hall, Octagonal Library and elegant Dining Room are all windows on a grand past.

But Muncaster's wild history reveals a flipside to life in a stately home. The castle evolved from the Pele Tower, built to repel marauding Scots. Those who stay here say it is haunted by ghosts, including the legendary Tom Fool.

Historic Haunted Castle, 70 acres of stunning wild gardens set against the Lake District fells, and home to the Hawk & Owl Centre; something for everyone.
