Muncaster Fell

232mM Marilyn

Muncaster Fell is a Marilyn, 232m high, in the Lake District National Park, and also counts as a HuMP. The Marilyns are hills anywhere in Britain and Ireland with at least 150 metres of prominence, whatever their height.

Ravenglass is the nearest station, 2.3 mi (about 3 to 3.5 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Ravenglass it's about 1.5 hours to the summit, 1 in 14 on average. Drigg is next, 3.2 mi (about 4 to 4.5 mi on foot), and 7 stations are within 10 miles in all.

Muncaster Fell is a fell at the far western edge of the Lake District National Park, in Cumbria, England. Muncaster Fell is a long, narrow ridge of land, approximately 1.2 km wide and 6 km long, lying between the River Mite to the north, and River Esk to the south. The fell rises from the coast near Ravenglass village to its highest point at Hooker Crag (231 m). The ridge then continues to the north-east, dropping gently to its furthest prominence at Silver Knott (174 m). The fell then falls away rapidly to the village of Eskdale Green at its north-eastern tip.
