Muncaster Fell Summit

Just a stone’s throw from the sea in the far western extent of the Lake District National Park, Muncaster Fell forms a verdant ridge in a fantastic location. It’s a modest fell at 758 feet (231 m) and its summit views exceed its charming height. It’s a steep-sided ridge, giving it quite an impressive appearance from afar and there are plenty of trails rambling about the hillside, giving you a wide range of ascent options. 

At the far south western end lies Muncaster Castle, a vast and stunning estate usually open for public visits. Along the hill’s northern flank runs the Ravenglass & Eskdale narrow gauge railway line, so as you work your way to the summit, you might catch the sight of a steam train chugging below. 

There are numerous places to begin your ascent, two popular places being Eskdale Green to the north east or Ravenglass to the south west.
