Welcome to Muncaster Castle & Gardens, one of the best places to visit in the Lake District for a fun family day out! The Muncaster Experience is different for everyone...

Come and see why The Independent Newspaper voted Muncaster No 1 in their list of the top 50 "Best Spring Day's Out" in 2009.   As the days lengthen again after a long cold winter the colourful gardens are bursting into life!  Although the Castle will be open again from Sunday the 21st March, there is still plenty to enjoy in the gardens and World Owl Centre.

Be amazed by seeing more than 200 owls at The World Owl Centre

Wonder and watch as the Wild Herons flock to the ‘Heron Happy Hour’ as the team feed them daily at  4:30pm

Relish  the 77 acres of 18th Century Gardens with the spectacular rhododendron collection. The Muncaster Interactive computer suite and the MeadowVole Maze are also open daily between 11am & 5pm. The Cafe is also open at weekends. All facilities fully open again from 21st March.

Relax in the tranquillity of the Coachman's Quarters (4* B&B) in the heart of the Gardens giving you unlimited access to the magestic Gardens in the evenings or in our self-catering holiday cottages in the nearby village of Ravenglass.
