Muncaster Fell, Mountain summit in Cumbria, United Kingdom
Muncaster Fell features a narrow ridge stretching 6 kilometers with steep slopes separating the valleys of Miterdale and Eskdale at 231 meters elevation.
A section of Roman road connected the fort of Glannaventa near Ravenglass to Hardknott Fort through Muncaster Fell during the Roman occupation of Britain.
The fell forms part of Lake District National Park, where agriculture and land management practices continue through generations of local farming families.
Several marked trails lead to the summit, with parking facilities available near Muncaster Castle, requiring sturdy footwear due to muddy and boggy sections.
The granite formation houses Muncaster Tarn, a small lake nestled among woodlands beneath Hooker Crag, supporting diverse plant communities including bilberry and gorse.
