  • The miniature railway takes tourists on a great ride into the Cumbrian fells. Known locally as Laal Ratty in Cumbrian dialect. #cumbria #ravenglass

  • 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

Ravensglass stayover

Beautiful location, overlooking the sea off Ravensglass. Professional, friendly team and great bar and restaurant in a pretty village where it has little competition. Interesting walk to local Roman Baths & the miniature railway. Close to Hardknott Roman Fort which was an interesting site to walk around, though probably one for the fitter and more energetic.
