Muncaster Fell

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.

Miteside Halt railway station

Miteside Halt railway station is a railway station on the 15" gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England. It is located where public footpath and the railway cross, a short way west of the passing loop. It was first opened in the days of the 3ft gauge railway, to serve the residents of the nearby Miteside House. To provide protection from the elements, a upturned boat hull was provided as a shelter. This tradition of using a boat hull as a shelter continues to this day, the current boat is the third one in the halt's history.
