Planning your Visit
This section of the site is the home of helpful stuff that can really make a difference to your visit. Planning in advance will help you make the most of your time at Muncaster Castle. If you are coming with kids check out 'visiting with children'. Everyone needs maps of the estate and you can download them here before you leave home. Dogs are welcome in the Gardens and Owl Centre providing that they are kept on leads.
We also have a copy of our 2013 leaflet that is available for you to download. This shows a list of special events as a calander for the year ahead. For further details of our special events click here
We're right in the heart of the Western Lake District on the picturesque coast. So, wherever you're coming from, it's not hard to get here.

For ideas on climbing, walking, sailing or anything outdoors, visit Outdoor Cumbria.
