Route Description for Muncaster Fell & Ravenglass Walk

The Muncaster Fell & Ravenglass Walk is an amazing point-to-point trail that is popular with Lake District walkers due to the fact that the route begins and ends at a railway station, making the return trip a breeze. The route sets out from the Irton Road railway stop outside of Eskdale and heads to the southwest across the open farmland terrain to climb the slopes of Muncaster Fell. After taking in the beautiful views of the English countryside, you will descend the hillside to the southwest and arrive at the grounds of Muncaster Castle, parts of which date back to the 13th Century. From here, you will head west along the River Esk until you arrive at the end point of the walk in Ravenglass. At this point, you can either explore the quaint village or make your way back to the trailhead via your desired mode of transportation.
