Local Attractions
At just 4.3 miles on the way to Ravenglass sits the magnificent Muncastle Castle is not to be missed. The Hawk & Owl Centre hosts sensational bird of prey displays.
Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway
Seven miles of spectacular scenery, to the foot of England’s highest mountains. The nearest station is at Ravenglass, just 5.3 miles away.
Black Combe
There are two paths, one steeper but shorter, the other gentle but very long. As a less well known mountain it is a wonderful experience due to only encountering a few other people. You meet ten times as many sheep as people! This gives it a wonderful sense of privacy and discovery. It takes about 2 and 1/2 hours to walk up from Silecroft (and under 2 hours to descend). On a clear day the views from the top are breathtaking. The sea takes up over half of the horizon with the Isle of Man to the west, you can even see the Blackpool Tower on the far headland. On reaching the summit, the rolling northern Lake District fells can be seen. At the summit there is a circular stone wall which provides a perfect, sheltered picnic spot where the scenic views can be soaked in.
