Muncaster Castle, Ravenglass CA18 1RQ
Home to the Pennington family for around 800 years, Muncaster Castle pairs its interiors with an owl centre in the grounds and a long-standing reputation as one of England's most haunted houses. Accommodation on site is in the stable-yard buildings rather than the castle itself.
Worth the trip
The owl centre in the grounds - a working part of the estate rather than a bolt-on attraction, and widely rated as a highlight of a visit.
