Home description
Situated on the Western tip of the Lake District, Ravenglass is a lovely seaside village that benefits from coastal sunshine and is within easy access of the Western mountains and lakes. Miterdale Cottage is on the original high street and is a comfortable cottage with fantastic sea views.
Ravenglass is a wonderful starting point for exploring the Lake District with plenty of walks either along the coast or over Muncaster fell to Eskdale and the mountains beyond. It is also the starting point for the famous Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Miniature Railway which makes a leisurely seven mile trip to the Eskdale Valley.
There are two pubs in the village and also the Pennington Hotel & Restaurant which is open to non-residents (all are less than five mins walk away).
The house has two bedrooms, an open fire in the lounge, kitchen with dining area and patio outside with raised decking to watch the sun go down over the sea.

The Cumbria/Lake District
Ravenglass is a wonderful starting point for exploring the Lake District with plenty of walks either along the coast or over Muncaster fell to Eskdale and the mountains beyond.

Ravenglass area
Miterdale Cottage is superby located for those looking to get away from it all. There is plenty to do in the area with just a few suggestions listed below.
RAVENGLASS Ravenglass gets the best of the Lake District weather. The village itself is right by the sea and there are a couple of pubs (one of which serves bar food) plus the Pennington Arms Hotel and Restaurant.
The Roman Bath House at Ravenglass is an impressive structure, still standing 1800 years after it was constructed - some of the walls are up to 4m high.
Ravenglass is the terminal for the The Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway which winds its way to Eskdale, seven miles away.
Muncaster is a mile from Ravenglass and is a fantastic place to visit with its woodland gardens, owl centre and castle which is still lived in by the Pennington family.
WASDALE (7 miles) With England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell), smallest church (St Olafs) and biggest liar, Wasdale is well worth a visit.
ESKDALE (7 miles) Hundreds of walks including England's highest mountain, Scafell pike and Stanley Ghyll waterfall. You can hire bikes from the YHA.
AMBLESIDE (38 miles) From Eskdale is Ambleside, a sometimes hair-raising journey over Hardknott and Wrynose passes (the steepest road in England).
WHITEHAVEN (17 miles) Georgian harbour town (and your nearest supermarket - Morrisons and Tesco)
HAVERIGG (16 miles) Water-sports at Haverigg Port Water Centre.
SILECROFT BEACH (13 miles) At Silecroft there is five miles of beach. You can also go horse-riding along the beach.
ENNERDALE (18 miles) Ennerdale is famed for being the Lake District's wild lake. You can walk round the bottom of it or venture up on the high fells around it. There is a forest there too which has bike trails through it. Bikes can be hired from the Shepherd's Arms pub in Ennerdale.
COCKERMOUTH (26 miles) Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, is 45 mins away. William Wordsworth's home is worth a visit, as is Jennings Brewery and Museum.
