The Muncaster grounds are located in Ravenglass, Western Lake District overlooking the beautiful River Esk.

Whilst you're here we recommend exploring the Eskdale Valley, perhaps hike up Scafell Pike, swim in the stunning waterfalls at Stanley Ghyll Beck (pictured) accessible via the Ratty Steam Railway. Or even bring your bike and attempt Corney Fell.
