MUNCASTER CASTLE

The Castle, beloved family home of the Penningtons since the beginning of the the 13th Century, displays treasures collected over 800 years. A free audio tour narrated by Patrick Gordon- Duff- Pennington, the person, the present owner, guides you round this haunted Castle, enlivening the experience with legends and family anecdotes.


MUNCASTER GARDENS
Muncaster is a cascade of changing colours throughout the year. A riot of rhododendrons and bluebells in spring, green leafy walks with majestic views in the summer, red and orange foilage in autumn, and a tracery of branches and snowy fell peaks in the winter.

MUNCASTER OWL CENTRE
It's a hoot with the Owls!
Muncaster boasts the finest Owl Centre in the world- over 180 birds of around 50 species. The Owl World has it's headquarters here, working tirelessly to preserve endangered species of owls. At 2.30pm each day a talk and display illustrates the work of the Trust and offers oppurtunity to take photographs and ask questions.
