Muncaster Castle

29 May 2013

Muncaster is an old(er) castle, built about 800 years ago on the foundations of another old Roman Fort here in Cumbria. It's been in the same family that entire time.

The tour includes the castle proper, the gardens and an owl sanctuary that is on the grounds. The castle was okay, and the owls pretty cool, but the show were the gardens.

The rhododendron were huge, big as trees!

And the azaleas were nearly the same size!

There is a person on the bridge in the lower left...

I'd never seen these before.

We spent most of the day there.

And what do these azaleas look like?

Primrose.

And another for scale. Everything was just HUGE!

Until next time...
