Country cottages in Ravenglass, Cumbria
Ravenglass is an unspoilt and picturesque village in the north west Lake District National Park. The Ravenglass estuary is a haven for birdwatchers and conservationists. A stroll along the sands reveals the rich history of the village, once a Roman port and favoured destination for smugglers. Today, visitors come whilst they explore the western Lakelands and many arrive by train. The village is tiny with virtually nowhere to park. It is little more than a collection of houses and holiday homes. There is a hotel and a couple of guest houses that double as tea rooms.
Visit Muncaster Castle, a short drive away, the medieval home of the Pennington family, with its 70 acres of gardens, the World Owl Centre and Meadowvole Maze. A surprising number of tourists visit regularly to feed the owls and birds of prey. Travelling south from Ravenglass, there are magnificent views of the estuary and coast surrounded by gently rolling hills.
